1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).

2. Set the artichokes aside and trim 1 inch (2.54 cm) from the top and bottom of the stem. Remove any tough outer leaves near the stem. Use sharp kitchen shears (I love these!) to trim off the tips of the remaining leaves. Cut the artichokes in half lengthwise, passing through the center.

6. Place a clove of garlic in the center of each artichoke, then top with a lemon slice to lock it in. (You may need to cut the lemon slices into small pieces to accommodate.)

7. Carefully flip the artichokes, side down, with the garlic and lemon inside. Brush the outside with olive oil, now facing up. Season with sea salt and black pepper.

8. Cover pan tightly with foil and bake 30 to 35 minutesuntil the knife inserted near the base has little resistance.

9. Remove foil and turn artichokes over. Remove the garlic cloves, transfer to a small bowl, add the butter and mash with a fork. Spread the mashed garlic butter on half of the artichokes.
