Slice the artichoke hearts in half and remove the fuzzy choke if present.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add artichoke hearts to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper.

Pour in white wine and vegetable broth, then bring to a simmer.

Cover the skillet and cook for 15-20 minutes until artichokes are tender.

Uncover and sprinkle with bread crumbs, parsley, and mint.

Drizzle with lemon juice and red pepper flakes for added flavor.

Cook uncovered for an additional 5 minutes until the bread crumbs are golden.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.
