Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the squid dry with paper towels and cut the tubes into 2-inch rings, leaving tentacles whole.
Tip: Drying the squid prevents splattering and promotes better browning.
- 2
Toss the artichoke halves in a large bowl with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, half the garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 12 minutes until edges begin to caramelize.
Tip: Cut artichokes in uniform sizes so they cook evenly.
- 3
Remove the artichokes from the oven and push them to the sides of the baking sheet. Create two shallow piles in the center for the squid.
- 4
In a separate bowl, combine the squid pieces with the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, remaining garlic, red pepper flakes, and half the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
Tip: Don't season the squid too early or it will release excess moisture.
- 5
Spread the seasoned squid in the center of the baking sheet and roast for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until squid is opaque and just tender.
Tip: Squid cooks very quickly; avoid overcooking or it becomes rubbery.
- 6
Remove from oven and drizzle the entire sheet with white wine and remaining lemon juice. Toss everything together gently.
Tip: The wine will create a light pan sauce that complements both the squid and artichokes.

Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon zest. Serve immediately while hot.

My go to drink for summer gatherings is this refreshing Beergarita, and let me tell you, it's a total crowd pleaser. The combination of tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and a cold Corona creates something that tastes way more complicated than it actually is. Lime juice is packed with vitamin C, which is great for your immune system, and the whole thing takes just five minutes to throw together. Best part? It's incredibly budget friendly since you're probably already stocking most of these ingredients anyway.
