Ciao Bella Baked Artichokes image

Here is another of my Mom's specialties. Just like with my Fried Artichokes, choose artichokes that are no bigger than your fist so they are tender. Hope everyone enjoys this. It's one of our family's favorite. If you're wondering why we chose to use garlic powder? It's because we prefer the subtle taste of garlic. No one likes to bite into a chunk of garlic, so we went with powder.
