Preheat the oven to 190 C. You will need a medium size baking dish.
Place the artichokes in a large bowl filled with cold water and scrub them clean using a vegetable brush to remove any soil. Rinse well and dry the artichokes with kitchen towel.
In a medium bowl combine the thyme, oil, garlic, seasoning and stir thoroughly.
Cut the large artichokes into quarters and smaller ones in half. Place in the bowl with the herb mixture and stir thoroughly to ensure even coating.
Tip into the baking dish and bake for 40-45 minutes, turning once halfway through.
Serve hot or cold, with a bit of parmesan if you wish.
