INSTRUCTIONS

1. Pour water into Instant Pot®and add the trivet.
2. Cut the bottom stem off of the artichokes, then slice off the top ¼ of the artichoke and discard. Using sharp scissors, trim the tips of the outer leaves.
3. Gently spread the leaves to fan the artichoke out to create gaps between the leaves.
4. In a separate small bowl, toss together panko, Italian seasoning, garlic, and parmesan cheese. Using your fingers or a spoon, sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the artichokes and gently press down into the gaps.
5. Place artichokes onto the trivet.
6. Close the lid, turn the knob to Sealing.
7. Press Manual or Pressure Cook button and adjust time to 45 minutes.
8. When the timer beeps, turn the knob from sealing to venting, then remove the lid and carefully transfer the artichoke to a serving plate.
9. Drizzle with lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of butter on each artichoke. Serve with the remaining butter for dipping.
