First you want to start by prepping your artichokes. Trim the stem, pull bottom leaves off, cut off an inch of top of artichokes. And then trim each of the leaves.

Then use a spoon to scrape out the choke in the bottom center of the artichoke. Then with a sliced lemon drizzle lemon juice over each artichoke. Now rub it all over, to prevent browning.

Now you want to lay your artichokes on a baking sheet along with 5 cloves of garlic, sliced lemon peels, and if you want rosemary.

Drizzle the artichokes with olive oil, and salt and pepper each one.

Cover in foil and bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes or until artichokes are tender.
