Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon oil (any neutral oil works well)
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 10 ounces fresh baby spinach
- 16 ounces vegan cream cheese (room temperature for easier mixing)
- ⅓ cup vegan mayo
- 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast or vegan parmesan (for added cheesy flavor)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure the dip gets bubbly and hot as it bakes.
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes, or until lightly browned and fragrant.
- Stir in the fresh baby spinach and continue to sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the pan from heat.
- Combine the vegan cream cheese, vegan mayo, chopped artichoke hearts, nutritional yeast, sautéed spinach, black pepper, and salt in a large baking dish. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving warm with your favorite dipping items!
Notes
Taste before baking to adjust seasonings. Room temperature vegan cream cheese helps achieve a creamier texture.
