• 1 lemon, halved
• Olive oil
• Girls Gone Grillin’ S.P.G. Plus a Kiss of Onion BBQ seasoning

Instructions

Prep the Artichokes

Trim stems so artichokes sit flat.

Cut about 1 inch off the tops and snip sharp leaf tips.

Slice in half lengthwise and rub cut sides with lemon to prevent browning.

Parboil (Key Step!)

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Add artichokes and boil 15–20 minutes, until just fork-tender.

Drain well.

Season

Brush artichokes with olive oil.

Season generously with Girls Gone Grillin’ SPG.

Smoke

Preheat smoker to 225–250°F.

Place artichokes cut-side up on the grates.

Smoke 45–60 minutes, until tender with light char and smoky flavor.

Make the Seasoned Butter

Melt butter and whisk in SPG, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and optional heat.

Keep warm for dipping.

Serve It Up

Serve artichokes hot with warm seasoned butter on the side.

Pull leaves, dip, and scrape with your teeth. Save the hearts for last — the best bite!

Girls Gone Grillin’ Tips

Finish artichokes cut-side down over direct heat for a quick char if desired.

Add fresh herbs (parsley or thyme) to the butter for extra pop.

These pair perfectly with grilled steak, chicken, or seafood.
