Steps
Oven baked artichokes au gratin are very simple and quick to prepare. First, blanch the artichoke hearts in salted boiling water for about ten minutes.
Drain the artichoke hearts and place them in a bowl. Season with black pepper, extra virgin olive oil, and mix.
Add chopped garlic and parsley, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, diced bacon (sweet or smoked, as you prefer), and mix all ingredients well.
Transfer the oven baked artichokes au gratin to a baking sheet, add the remaining breadcrumbs on top, drizzle with a little oil, and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15/20 minutes until golden.
Tips:
Oven baked artichokes au gratin can be stored at room temperature for a few hours or in the refrigerator for a couple of days. You can use either fresh or frozen artichokes; I used the latter, and the cooking time is the same.
