Vegan Spinach & Artichoke Dip (Creamy, Cheesy, Crowd-Pleaser)

Total Time: 30 mins | Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 20 mins | Serves: About 8

You know that one dish at the party everyone mysteriously gathers around? This is it. Creamy, cheesy, garlicky, and warm enough to make you forget you’re supposed to be “saving room for dinner.” This vegan spinach & artichoke dip tastes so indulgent, no one will guess it’s dairy-free — unless you brag about it, which you totally should.

🛒 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Sauté the flavor base: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook 3–4 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic and cook 1 more minute.

  2. Add spinach & artichokes: Stir in spinach until wilted (or warmed through if frozen). Add chopped artichoke hearts and cook another 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. Blend the cream: In a blender, combine soaked cashews, plant milk, vegan cream cheese, vegan mayo, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until completely smooth.

  4. Mix & bake: Stir the blended cream into the spinach-artichoke mix. If using vegan mozzarella, fold it in now. Transfer to an oven-safe baking dish.

  5. Bake: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes, until bubbly and hot.

  6. Serve hot: With crackers, toasted bread, tortilla chips, or straight from the dish with a spoon (I won’t tell).

🧠 Mom Tips

  • 🥬 Fresh vs. frozen: Fresh spinach gives a lighter texture, but frozen works just as well if you squeeze out every drop of water.

  • 🧄 More garlic? Always an option — roasted garlic takes this to the next level.

  • 🧀 Cheesy boost: A sprinkle of vegan parm or mozzarella on top before baking makes it extra gooey.

  • 🍞 Party hack: Serve in a hollowed-out bread bowl for drama and snacks.

🥣 Why I Love It

It’s the kind of dip that makes people lean in for “just one more bite” until the dish is mysteriously empty. I love that it’s fancy enough for a holiday appetizer but easy enough for game night… and that my kids eat spinach without a single complaint.
