"No Fuss" Artichokes

I found this recipe in the bag of artichokes from Costco.  I love the name since they are definitely more work than just steaming them and dipping in mayo and butter (ick!)  I think they are worth the effort.  Yum!
 
1 whole artichoke, rinsed and trimmed
2 cloves fresh garlic, quartered
juice from one half lemon
2 T olive oil
1/2 t sea salt
3 T broth (optional)
2 squares heavy-duty aluminum foil

Preparation:
- preheat oven to 425°
- spread artichoke petals open to season
- between the petals:  squeeze lemon juice - drizzle with olive oil/broth and stuff garlic
- sprinkle top of artichoke with 1/2 t sea salt
- tightly double wrap and seal each artichoke with foil
- place foil wrapped artichoke in pre-heated oven and bake (medium artichoke for 60 minutes; jumbo sized for 90 minutes)
- remove from oven and let cool before unwrapping
