Ingredients
Scale
For the Artichoke
- 2 large globe artichokes
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt for boiling water
For the Filling
- 2 small burrata balls (about 100g each)
- 2 tbsp garlic butter (softened)
- 3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- Freshly ground black pepper
For Roasting
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sea salt
- Optional: chili flakes or herbed breadcrumbs for topping
Garnish
- Chopped parsley
- Extra Parmesan
Instructions
- Prep the artichokes: Trim the stems, snip the pointy tips, and remove the tough outer leaves. Rub all over with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Steam for 25–30 minutes, until leaves pull away easily and the heart is tender. Let cool slightly.
- Scoop out the fuzzy choke at the center with a spoon, creating a clean cavity.
- Fill the cavity with 1 tbsp garlic butter, followed by a whole burrata and a sprinkle of Parmesan and black pepper.
- Brush outer leaves generously with olive oil and season with sea salt.
- Place artichokes on a baking sheet and roast at 425°F (220°C) for 12–15 minutes, until the leaves are golden and crisp and the burrata begins to melt inside.
- Optional topping: In the final 5 minutes, sprinkle chili flakes or herbed breadcrumbs on top for extra crunch.
- Garnish with parsley and more Parmesan just before serving.
- Serve whole, warm and crispy, with a side of lemon wedges or dipping sauce if desired.
- Encourage the pull-apart reveal—don’t skip the moment of cheesy lava joy.
