INGREDIENTS FOR VEGAN SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP
The artichoke dip gets its full flavor and creaminess from baking in the oven, so this recipe is essentially hands-off. To begin, sauté the aromatic garlic and wilt the spinach on the heat. What you’ll need to create vegan artichoke dip:
Oil: for fast wilting spinach and sauté the garlic. You can use any cooking oil you like.
Garlic: which has a rich umami flavor.
Young, fresh spinach: Don’t worry if it seems like a lot because it will wilt down rapidly!
Vegan cheese: Although you may make your own cashew cream cheese.
Vegan mayonnaise: Vegan mayo from Follow Your Heart is excellent.
Hearts of Artichoke: Make sure to chop them up finely so that your dip will be simple to eat with crackers or chips.
Dietary yeast: You could also use your preferred vegan parmesan cheese in its place.
HOW TO MAKE VEGAN SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat the oil. Saute the garlic until browned, for about 2 minutes. Sauté the spinach until wilted. Take the pan off the heat.
Combine the vegan cream cheese, mayo, artichoke hearts, nutritional yeast, sautéed spinach, salt, and pepper in a baking dish.
Bake the dip for 15-20 minutes, or until it is hot and bubbling. Serve hot!
It is ideal for scooping up with sliced bread, crackers, tortilla or pita chips, or veggie sticks. This spinach artichoke dip is definitely the best, and I know you’ll like it as much as I do!
HOW TO STORE LEFTOVERS

Substitutions & Swaps
