Grilled Artichokes with Lemon-Basil Dipping Sauce

Grilled Artichokes with Lemon-Basil Dipping Sauce

Succulent grilled artichokes dipped in a creamy lemon-basil dipping sauce. Perfect appetizer or side dish for your summertime barbecue or date night menu. The dipping sauce would also go well with our Air Fryer Artichokes!

Spring is finally here and with it comes our favorite grilled recipes. Come April, we turn off the oven and dust off our grill. This Grilled Artichokes with Lemon-Basil Dipping Sauce is usually one of the first items to make its way onto our plate.

We’ll take artichokes any way we can get them: plain, steamed, slathered in butter, fried. Our favorite comes way of our sibling, who created this side dish. Truth be told this usually turns into a full-blown lunch. This artichoke recipe is a hard act to follow.
