Roasted Artichoke with Spicy Aioli

Roasted Artichoke with Spicy Aioli

• • 1 artichoke

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

  • salt and pepper

Spicy Aioli:

• • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 1-2 teaspoons horseradish

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 400 F.

Cut the stem off the bottom of the artichoke so it will sit flat. Cut the top 1/3 of the leaves off. Drizzle the top with the olive oil, so that it runs down inside and in between the artichoke leaves. Season with salt and pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of the minced garlic. Wrap tightly in foil. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes. Serve with the aioli.

To make the spicy aioli, whisk together the mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, horseradish, lemon juice, salt and pepper until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
