Baked Stuffed Artichokes are a delightful and keto-friendly dish that promises a burst of flavors and textures.

These savory treats are a must-try for followers of the keto diet, as they are low in carbs and high in fiber, making them a perfect addition to any low-carb meal plan.

Nutritionally, artichokes are rich in essential vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate. They also contain antioxidants that promote good health.

The stuffing, typically made with a combination of low-carb ingredients like cheese, herbs, and healthy fats, complements the artichoke’s mild, nutty taste.

When it comes to pairing, Baked Stuffed Artichokes can be served as a delectable side dish alongside grilled meats or fish.

The preparation involves cleaning and trimming the artichokes, removing the choke, and filling the center  with the flavorful  stuffing. Roasting them in the oven until tender ensures a mouthwatering final result.

Cooking time usually takes around 45-60 minutes, depending on the size of the artichokes.

Once prepared, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days, making them a convenient make-ahead dish for keto dieters.

Celebrities like Halle Berry and LeBron James have publicly expressed their love for the keto diet and its benefits.

Baked Stuffed Artichokes would undoubtedly be a hit among these keto-savvy stars and any health-conscious individual   looking to indulge in a delicious, guilt-free treat.

Ingredients:

• 4 medium-sized artichokes
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup almond flour (or breadcrumbs for non-keto version)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Start by preparing the artichokes. Trim the stems and remove any tough outer leaves.
3. Use a sharp knife to cut off the top third of the artichoke to expose the inner leaves.
4. Use kitchen shears to trim the sharp tips of the remaining leaves.
5. Spread the leaves gently to create a cavity in the center of each artichoke, removing the choke (the fuzzy part) if present.
6. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour (or breadcrumbs),  chopped parsley, minced garlic, lemon juice, and half of the olive oil.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Stuff the mixture into the cavities of the prepared artichokes, distributing it evenly among the leaves.
9. Place the stuffed artichokes in a baking dish.
10. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top of each artichoke.
11. Add about 1/2 inch of water to the bottom of the baking dish to create steam during baking.
12. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes or until the artichokes are tender and the stuffing is golden brown.
13. Once baked, remove the foil and broil the artichokes for a few minutes to get a crispy, golden top.
14. Serve the Baked Stuffed Artichokes hot, either as a side dish or a light main course. Enjoy!

For additional variations, you can add other keto-friendly ingredients like cooked bacon, chopped spinach, or diced tomatoes to the stuffing mix.
