Preheat your oven to 400°F.

Trim the stems and the top inch off each artichoke. Remove any tough outer leaves.

Cut each artichoke in half vertically and scoop out the fuzzy choke with a spoon.

Rub each artichoke half with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Arrange the artichoke halves cut-side-up on a baking sheet.

Drizzle with olive oil, ensuring it gets between the leaves.

Sprinkle minced garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, and Parmesan cheese over the artichokes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the leaves can be easily pulled off.

Serve warm, perhaps with a side of garlic aioli or your favorite dipping sauce.
