Cheesy Vegan Baked Spinach Dip

Published on Monday, 27 January 2025 18:17

This healthy twist on the Cheesecake Factory favorite features aromatics, fresh spinach, and frozen artichoke hearts for convenience. A creamy cashew and white bean sauce, stirred in just before baking, delivers mouthwatering cheesiness and is significantly lower in fat than traditional versions. Serve with home-baked tortilla chips and a dollop of pico de gallo for a guilt-free snack worth raving about. This recipe calls for portioning out the dip into individual-serving ramekins so that guests can double-dip to their hearts’ content—but you can also serve it in one large dish. (See tip below.)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large skillet cook onion over medium 4 to 5 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently and adding water, 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed to prevent sticking. Add spinach and garlic; cook, tossing with tongs, 1 to 2 minutes or until spinach is wilted. Add artichokes; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Transfer spinach mixture to a large bowl.
In a blender combine the next six ingredients (through salt). Cover and blend until very smooth, scraping sides of blender as needed. Add to spinach mixture; stir until well combined. Spoon mixture evenly into six 4-oz. ramekins or custard cups. Place ramekins in a shallow baking pan.
Bake 20 minutes or until dip is heated through. Let cool 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Serve with Homemade Tortilla Chips and Pico de Gallo.
