Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 47kcal
Ingredients
- 4-5 baby artichokes stray leaves trimmed
- ½ cup water
- 1 teaspoon olive oil per artichoke
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar per artichoke
- Kosher salt to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Wash the artichokes properly. Trim all stray leaves off the stem and slice the artichoke straight down the middle. Using your small spoon, dig right into the choke above the heart. Remove the fuzzy choke and scrape around in there to get everything clean.
- Place the artichokes halves on the heavy-duty foil cut-side up and season with salt, pepper, olive oil and red wine vinegar.
- Pull the edges of the foil up and add ½ cup of water. Seal the foil packet ready for grilling.
Cooking Instructions
- Place the foil packet on the hot grill for 20-25 minutes.
- Once the heart is tender, remove the artichokes from the foil and grill the outside for a bit of grill flavor and nice grill marks. Don't grill for too long, as the leaves will become tough. Flip the artichokes and grill the inside.
- Serve hot and enjoy!

Looking for more flavor? You can drizzle roasted garlic oil in the place of the olive oil. Or pack the leaves lightly with minced garlic… it is delicious!
If you want a dipping sauce, make a quick Dijon vinaigrette. It pairs perfectly and a little goes a long way.
