Never had an artichoke? Don’t be scared!
Here’s your chance to try something NEW and yummy.
Artichokes have always been one of my favorite vegetables. Steamed artichokes are delicious, fun to eat and are super low in calories. BONUS.
This Crockpot Artichoke recipe takes all the guess work out of cooking them. It was brought to my attention by a couple friends, that they had never even HAD an artichoke before. WHAT?! This is a crime! hehe
If you are an artichoke virgin, please don’t wait any longer. Give this yummy veggie a try. You can even dip it in butter, flavored mayo or aioli :)
Here is what you need:
- 4-6 large artichokes. ( I have a 6 QT oval crockpot and was able to five 5 large)
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 4-6 cloves of garlic, minced
- fresh juice from 1 large lemon (about 2 TBS)
- 3 TBS olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
1. First, wash artichokes. Trim each artichoke by cutting off stem at the base of the artichoke, and the top inch of the artichoke.
2. Place trimmed artichokes in your crockpot. Brush the lemon juice over each artichoke.
3. Next place minced garlic on top of each artichoke. Rub in with a spoon.
4. Drizzle olive oil evenly over each artichoke top.
5. Pour in 2 cups of vegetable broth.
Cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours. My artichokes were medium/large and were perfect at 3 hours. So depending on the size of your artichokes, you might want to cook a little less or more.

OMG Corey!!!!! This is genius!!!! We are so trying these! Just another tip for those who don’t normally eat them…the best time to buy great artichokes in in August. Also when picking them out give them a squeeze. You want to pick out the ones that are fat and round. They are the best. Just like everything there is a male version and a female version of artichokes. Crazy I know but if you can find the female versions they are more succulent!!! Can’t wait to try this!!!!
Hahaha! I never knew that! So funny
Gotta go stock up on some female artichokes! hehe
Anything with the word crockpot in it and artichokes and I have to click on it haha. This looks so yummy and healthy. I’m going to have to give this a try soon
Hahaha! I totally agree
I hope you give it a try and love it Leslie

I cannot wait to try this! Pinning!
Great Charise! I can’t wait to hear how you like them

I wanna try this tonight but I only have chicken broth?! think it’ll work?! sounds so yummy!
Absolutely! Enjoy!
Would it still be 3-4 hours if I was only cooking 2 artichokes?
Arianne, I have never made only 2 artichokes before. Sorry
What I would try is cooking for 2-3 hours.
I see you cooked it on HIGH for 3 hours. I can’t get home to turn it on for that short of time. Do you think they would work on LOW for 6 hours? Or will that shrivel them up too much?
I have done them on low for 5 hours before. Do you have a timer, so it could shut off after 5 hours?
