Artichoke Hearts Or Globe, Raw

1 medium
Jalapeno Peppers

1 large - approx 4" - 6" long
Grape Tomato

10 grape
Salt

0.5 teaspoon
Black Pepper

¼ teaspoon
Cumin, Ground

0.5 teaspoon
Onion Powder

0.5 teaspoon
Paprika

0.5 teaspoon
Crushed Red Pepper by Simply Organic

¼ tsp
Shredded Lettuce

¼ cup, shredded
Colby Jack Cheese

½ cup, shredded

Step 1

Prepare a medium artichoke (or 2 small) by cutting off the top(s), stem(s), and the brown tips of any leaves. Use a serrated knife and kitchen scissors for easy cutting.
Step 2

Place the artichoke in a steam basket over a pot of water. Steam the artichoke by placing a lid over the pot, turning the heat to as high as possible, and let the water come to a boil and steam the produce for 25 minutes.
Step 3

Let the artichokes cool after steaming until they are cool enough to handle. It’s okay if they are a little undercooked, as they will continue cooking in the oven later. Meanwhile, preheat an oven to 350 degrees and chop the jalapeno and grape tomatoes.
Step 4

Once the artichoke is cooled, remove the leaves one by one. Arrange the pieces of artichoke on a sheet tray, as you would nacho chips. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, cumin, onion powder, paprika, and crushed red pepper across the artichoke pieces.
Step 5

Next, arrange the jalapeno, tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and cheese over the “nachos.” Try to have the artichokes mostly covered all the way to the edges of the tray. This helps ensure you don’t have hard edges that are inedible after baking.
Step 6

Bake the tray of nachos in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the artichokes are done to your liking. For firmer nachos, you can bake for 15 minutes and use the artichoke nachos as a scoop for your toppings, or you can bake longer so you can pop an entire nacho into your mouth without trouble.
