For enhanced flavor, try adding a sprig of fresh thyme or rosemary to the Instant Pot. Adjust cooking time slightly based on the size of your artichokes. Smaller artichokes may require a minute or two less, while larger ones may need a bit more time. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. These are delicious with homemade aioli or a simple lemon-herb butter.
