22 Best Artichoke Recipes That Are So Delicious and Easy to Make

From creamy dip to baked artichoke hearts to stuffed artichokes, these easy Artichoke Recipes will give your plenty of options to try.

What is the Best Way to Cook and Eat Artichokes?

Artichokes are one of the most versatile vegetables that you either love or hate! Don’t let that rough, spiky exterior scare you though, there are plenty of ways to fully experience their taste and enjoy cooking them as well.

You can boil, bake, braise, bbq or even stuff artichokes – which method you choose is completely up to you! 

If, however, you are looking for the easiest way to cook them then you will simply want to steam them. To eat them just remove the outer leaves and dip them in your favorite sauce. Be sure to scrape off all of the fleshy part of the leaves, use a spoon to scrape off all the fuzzies, then finish off by using a knife and fork to cut the remaining artichoke heart and stem into bite-sized pieces.  

Which Part of the Artichoke is Edible?

When eating an artichoke, the only part you will want to discard is the center “choke”. The rest which includes the leaves, base of the petals, the stem and the entire artichoke are completely edible! Most people focus on the base of the petal. Just pull the base of the petal through clenched teeth to strip off the petal meat and eat the individual petals from the cooked artichoke.
