This was my first time cooking artichokes, and I'm so glad I tried this recipe. The artichokes were delicious, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time, I'll use less chili powder.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some asparagus, carrots, and zucchini that I needed to use up, and they worked perfectly in this dish.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my artichokes didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. Maybe I cooked them for too long?

The artichokes were a bit tough, but the vegetables were cooked perfectly. Overall, it was a good dish, but I think I would try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavors were still good. I think I would try it again with less oil next time.
