If you have the grill going anyway, this is a great way to cook an artichoke. I didn't feel that the taste was much different than my normal method on the stove, but I'll keep this in mind for camping. Made for ZWT6.

Great recipe....I thought it had great flavor. I had never thought to grill artichokes. I did have to finish these in the oven due to rain....but still turned out great. Thanks made for ZWT4 by a CHIC CHEF.

ZWT4 recipe. I'd never grilled artichokes before, so this was something fun & new to try. They turned out cooked just right. The flavors of the garlic and lemon zest didn't make it all the way inside, so next time, I'll melt some butter and add extra lemon zest and garlic to dip the bites in. Thanks for sharing! ~Sue

Thanks for a wonderfully easy and tasty recipe. We used tons of garlic and I didn't have lemon but everything else was as written. The grill technique was well written and worked perfectly. Thanks Parsley!
