recipe cheesy baked artichokes (nice side to the pinwheel steaks)

2 packages (9 oz each) frozen artichoke hearts (i used jarred)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons ground pecans
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

Preheat the oven to 375d. Coat a 9" glass pie plate with cooking spray.

Place the artichokes in a colander and rinse well with cold water to separate. Drain well, then pat dry with paper towels. Place in the prepared pie plate and sprinkle with the lemon juice.

In a small bowl, combine the pecans (i love my magic bullet), cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic, and oil. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the artichokes.

Bake for 15 minutes, or until the topping is golden.
