What to Serve With Grilled Artichokes
Grilled artichokes are a great addition to any summer grilling menu.
A very good dish for those following a low-carb diet (including it's perfect for the keto diet). The fats from vegetable oil combined with fiber will provide a healthy feeling of satiety for several hours and also have a beneficial effect on the hormonal system and the health of your skin. I would recommend consuming this dish as a side dish for dinner or lunch. It is best paired with easily digestible protein (fish, seafood, or lean types of cheese such as mozzarella/feta/feta, etc.).
1 To prepare artichokes, start by filling a large bowl with cold water. Then, squeeze the juice from one lemon wedge into the water. Next, trim the tops and stems from the artichokes, cut them in half from top to bottom, and scoop out the choke. Finally, place the artichoke halves into the bowl of lemon water to prevent them from turning brown.
2 Boil a large pot of water. Add artichokes and cook for 15 minutes until tender. Drain.
3 Please follow the instructions given below to preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
Meanwhile, preheat the outdoor grill to achieve medium-high heat.

Before grilling, make sure to brush the artichokes with the basting sauce generously. This not only adds flavor but also helps in creating a deliciously caramelized exterior during grilling. Don't forget to reserve some of the sauce for serving, as it adds a final burst of freshness to each bite.
