Two or three artichoke heads (depending on how many servings)

Salt

pepper

rosemary

lemon cut in half

olive oil

1/4 cup of water

pinch of dry ginger powder

1 whole onion sliced into a crescent shapes

PREPARATION

Heat oven to 475 degrees.

Cut artichoke in half.

Remove a few rows of the outermost leaves

In a baking pan, add olive oil to lightly coat the bottom.

Season the artichokes with salt, pepper, and rosemary. (front and back)

Place the artichoke in the baking pan face down with the onions above and below.

Pour the water into the pan but not on the artichokes.

Option, cover the baking pan with aluminum foil so that the artichokes do not brown faster.

Cook for 25 minutes, until golden-green color and tender. The water should also be evaporated completely.

Turn them face up. Turn off the heat. Squeeze the lemon juice over the artichoke.
