merryb,

Are you going to manicure them? Trim the prickers and cut out the choke,
prior?

All I might suggest is if halved, as you mention, place flat olive oiled
side down on parchment paper on a shallow cookie sheet pan?

Something is still nagging at me about the leaves losing their tenderness.

Are you just after the hearts?

Best,

Andy
