Roasted Artichoke Tips
How to tell when they are cooked? Pierce the artichoke heart with a fork and if the fork is able to pierce right through it is cooked. Or another technique, is if you are easily able to pull a petal off with no effort
Roast artichokes face up to maintain the chlorophyll, if you place them face down, the chlorophyll will weep out

How to eat artichoke
Artichoke is perfect to be served as an entree/appetizer
Each petal should be eaten separately; do this by inserting each petal into your mouth base first, and scrap the flesh with your teeth
Once all petals are consumed, you will reach the choke (the hairy part), this is within the heart, scrap the choke out. Consume the heart
