I can’t think of a better summer sidedish than these artichokes, they are so stinkin’ good! I could eat them for a whole meal, that’s how good they are.

Another thing I love about them is that when I make them for dinner I am able to do everything else for the meal because these are so low maintenance.  Season them, set them to boil and then grill for a few minutes.

Super easy and the flavor payoff is more than worth it! To top it all off they are low-carb and sugar-free!

 

Fire Roasted Cajun Artichokes

Ingredients: (amounts below are for 1 artichoke, be sure to multiply the recipe if you’re making more than one.)

1 – Artichoke (per person)
1/4 – 1/2 cup – Sugar-Free Mayo
1 1/2 tbsp – Sugar-Free Cajun Seasoning
1 tbsp – Avocado Oil (or any other neutral cooking oil)

 

Instructions:

1. Put a large pot of water on high to boil with the lid on. The size of the pot(s) depends on the number of artichokes you’re making. Trim the stocks down leaving about 1 inch.

2. Use your fingers to gently open the artichoke. The goal isn’t to pull it completely apart, it’s to create some space between the leaves for the seasoning and oil to get in. You can use the oil as a lubricant to make this process easier if necessary.

3. If you haven’t already oiled the artichoke do that now and season it with the cajun seasoning. Do your best to pull the leaves apart a little so the seasoning and oil make it inside the leaves.

4. Once the water is boiling put the artichokes in the water and use tongs to hold each one under the water to let it fill up so they stay under the water instead of on top of the water. Boil for 45 mins to 1 hour until the stocks are fork-tender.

It might look like you just undid all the flavor you just put on the artichoke but trust me, you didn’t. It’s like pasta or potatoes, all that flavor in the water boils into the artichoke.

5. Remove each artichoke from the water stock pointing up to allow the water to drain. Place on a cutting board and cut the artichoke in half from top to bottom. Use the tongs as the artichokes will obviously be very hot. Add a bit more oil and cajun seasoning to the cut side of each half.

6. Place the artichoke halves cut side down on a high heat grill for 10 – 15 mins or until the edges of the leaves are slightly charred. Remove from the grill and allow to cool.

7. While the artichokes are cooling mix 1/4 cup mayo with 1/2 tsp of cajun seasoning. Mix until well combined. This dip is so good and so easy.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Artichoke per person
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Sugar-Free Cajun Seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Avocado Oil (or any other neutral cooking oil)
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup Sugar-Free Mayo

Instructions
 

  • Put a large pot of water on high to boil with the lid on. The size of the pot(s) depends on the number of artichokes you're making. Trim the stocks down leaving about 1 inch.
  • Use your fingers to gently open the artichoke. The goal isn't to pull it completely apart, it's to create some space between the leaves for the seasoning and oil to get in. You can use the oil as a lubricant to make this process easier if necessary.
  • If you haven't already oiled the artichoke do that now and season it with the cajun seasoning. Do your best to pull the leaves apart a little so the seasoning and oil make it inside the leaves.
  • Once the water is boiling put the artichokes in the water. I like to use tongs to hold each one under the water to let it fill up with water so they stay under the water instead of on top of the water. Boil for 45 mins to 1 hour until the stocks are fork-tender. It might look like you just undid all the flavor you just put on the artichoke but trust me, you didn't. It's like pasta or potatoes, all that flavor in the water boils into the artichoke.
  • Remove each artichoke from the water stock up to allow the water to drain. Place on a cutting board and cut the artichoke in half from top to bottom. Use the tongs as the artichokes will obviously be very hot. Add a bit more oil and cajun seasoning to the cut side of each half.
  • Place the artichoke halves cut side down on a high heat grill for 10 - 15 mins or until the edges of the leaves are slightly charred. Remove from the grill and allow to cool.
  • While the artichokes are cooling mix 1/4 cup mayo with 1/2 tsp of cajun seasoning. Mix until well combined. This dip is so good and so easy.

Special Note for Trim Healthy Mamas:
This is an S meal or side. You can eat 1/2 as a side and cut back on the net carbs. I'm NEVER able to only eat 1/2 but you could try. LOL. 1/2 artichoke is an 4.5 Net Carbs a whole artichoke is 9 Net Carbs.
