Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip
IDK about you but I love a delicious indulgent app, and this vegan spinach artichoke dip is no exception to that rule! You seriously won’t even know that it’s a healthier for you option 😉 – promise! My dad said it was “like crack” and he’s not a fan of all of the healthy foods if that says anything! Let’s get into it 🙂
Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip Breakdown
Spinach artichoke dip typically is made with a ton of cheese, heavy cream, sour cream, and mayonnaise. We all know my thoughts on dairy, so making a vegan version of this delicious appetizer we all know and love! Here were my subs..
- Heavy Creams: Instead of using the typical heavy cream, mayo, sour cream, etc., I opted to use a plain (nut based) vegan cream cheese, I love the Kite Hill one or Miyoko’s one.
- Cheese: Typically this dip is also packed with a TON of cheese. Easy swap for that was my favorite Nutritional Yeast, which also packs a healthy serving of protein, too!
- Flavor: We always have to up the flavor with natural herbs, right?! I did a combination of dried oregano and crushed red pepper, which adds a bit of heat too!
- Minced Garlic: Garlic not only adds amazing flavor, but is also great for lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels!

Spinach Artichoke Dip Time!
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Add avocado oil and veggies (spinach, artichokes, green onion, garlic) all to a skillet. Sautee on medium heat until spinach is cooked through.
- While veggies are cooking, mix cream cheese, nutritional yeast and spices in a small bowl until well combined.
- Once veggies cooked through, turn the heat to low and add in your cream cheese mixture to the pan. Stir well.
- Transfer mixture to a greased baking pan (I used a 9″ x 5″) and bake for 10-15 minutes. It will take less time the larger your pan is!
