These Pressure Cooker Artichokes Keto make steaming artichokes way less intimidating and it only takes 20 minutes to make.
These Pressure Cooker Steamed artichokes are one of the easiest recipes to make and it takes only 20 minutes to make. You just need to cut the stem and the top of the artichoke, throw it in the Pressure Cooker, along with water and any aromatics you want. I used dried rosemary and bay leaves. It might seem a little intimidating at first, but trust me it is so foolproof. I love dipping artichokes in pesto or a sun-dried tomato dip. Artichokes are a great spring vegetable, although it is available most of the year.
The heart of the artichoke is the best part and it is completely edible. The innermost leaves are the softest but you can eat the outermost by scraping with your teeth and eating the tender parts. I find that steaming artichokes is the best way to make them to give them the right amount of moisture.

How to Steam Artichokes in the Pressure Cooker
Rinse the artichoke with water and pat dry with a paper towel. Take the artichoke and remove any outer part leaves that may seem dry. Cut the stem off, and an inch from the top until the inside is exposed.
Add a cup of water into the Pressure Cooker and dried parsley. Place the trivet into the Pressure Cooker and then the artichokes on top of the trivet.
Close the lid and pressure cook on high for 20 minutes.
Take the artichokes out and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt.
Enjoy!
Hint: The innermost leaves are the best part to eat!
Substitutions
Artichokes: Artichokes have a nice olive green color to them (they can sometimes be purple) and always stand out next to other vegetables at the supermarket. Make sure the leaves are tight and not loose. When artichokes start going bad, their leaves become loose, shriveled, and dried out. The more packed they feel, the fresher they are.
Spices: I used bay leaves and parsley for a nice aromatic method to cook the artichokes. You do not need to use spices at all, but if you do, feel free to use any variation you want. I like using dried parsley but you could use dried basil, rosemary or even Italian seasoning.
Olive oil: For best quality artichokes, use extra virgin olive oil to top on the artichokes.
