Stuffed Artichoke Recipe

Spring is a great time for artichokes and one of our favorite ways to eat them is stuffed! Garlic bread seasoning and nutritional yeast flavor the panko bread crumb filling of this delicious steamed vegetable.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup (54 grams)

  panko breadcrumbs

• 1/4 cup (28 grams)

  garlic bread seasoning

• 1/4 cup (18 grams)

  nutritional yeast

• 1/8 teaspoon

  cayenne pepper (optional)

• 1/2 teaspoon

  fleur de sel salt

• 1/4 teaspoon

  freshly ground black pepper

• 2 large

  artichokes

• 1/4 cup

  extra virgin olive oil

• 1/2

  lemon

Directions

Whisk panko bread crumbs, garlic bread seasoning, nutritional yeast, cayenne pepper (if using), salt and ground black pepper in a bowl to combine.

With a large serrated knife, remove stem from bottom of artichoke and remove bottom row of leaves. Cut about an inch of leaves from the top. If remaining leaves on artichoke have thorns on top, snip top part of each leaf with kitchen shears.

Separate leaves with thumbs to create space for the stuffing. Drizzle olive oil over tops of artichokes.

Stuff each artichoke inside of the large bowl, spooning bread crumb mixture into crevices between leaves.

Steam in a large pot with steamer basket for 35-45 minutes, until, when carefully tested, leaves pull off easily. Carefully remove from steamer basket and squeeze lemon over artichokes, using hand to strain out seeds. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
