    In case you were wondering, the answer is yes. Yes, you should make and devour this immediately. This Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip recipe is a fan-favorite recipe! Cheesy, gooey, creamy, and absolutely delicious. The perfect appetizer for game day, a BBQ, movie night, or anytime you want to impress. No one will know it's vegan!

    This is one of those appetizers where people are gonna be asking for the recipe and they are gonna be asking how much cheese is in this thing. It's so darn cheesy, creamy, and delectable, with lots of spinach, artichoke and onion action going on. I mean can you even tell there is bread under that thick coating of dip lusciousness ↑ ? The dip just devoured my bread as a good dip should.

    This recipe is easy to make and can be made ahead of time if desired. If you would like to prep this dip ahead of time, simply prepare the dip as written but do not bake it yet. Cover and store in the fridge until ready to bake or you can freeze it. If freezing, allow the dip to thaw completely before baking. Uncover and bake as directed, it may need a few extra minutes in the oven.

    How to Make Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip:

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Make a double batch of Melty Stretchy Gooey Vegan Mozzarella. You can do this ahead of time and keep the mozzarella in an airtight container in the fridge until you are ready to use it, or you can make it right before creating this recipe. It only takes 15 minutes!

    Add the mozzarella to an oven-safe dish, along with the artichoke hearts, onion, garlic, spinach, ½ cup plant-based milk, salt, and pepper. Give it a stir. It will probably be lumpy and not really come together, but that's ok.
    Bake for 20 minutes, stopping halfway to give it a stir. If it gets too thick, thin it by mixing in a bit more plant-based milk.

    Once fully cooked, you can optionally brown the top. To do this, turn your oven to broil, and put it under the broiler for about 3 minutes. Check continuously so that it doesn't burn, it browns fast!! Serve hot with bread or chips. Optionally you can garnish this vegan spinach artichoke dip with red pepper flakes or vegan parmesan cheese.

    This Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip is...

    • Creamy
    • Cheesy
    • Make-ahead and freezer-friendly
    • A party pleaser!

    • Bake for 20 minutes, stopping halfway to give it a stir. If it gets too thick, thin it by mixing in a bit more plant-based milk.

    Notes

    Make-ahead/ freezer instructions: If you would like to prep this dip ahead of time, simply prepare the dip as written but do not bake it yet. Cover and store in the fridge until ready to bake or you can freeze it. If freezing, allow the dip to thaw completely before baking. Uncover and bake as directed, it may need a few extra minutes in the oven.
    Cashew Substitution: Cashews are my favorite but if you need to substitute them you can instead use blanched almonds, macadamia nuts, or raw sunflower seeds. Boil these nuts or seeds for 10 - 15 minutes before blending to ensure they are softened and can blend into a smooth creamy sauce.
