Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip Ingredients

I think you’ll be surprised how easy and quickly this dip comes together.

Tofu: You want to use a 14-ounce block of firm tofu. Be sure it’s not SILKEN tofu. Tofu makes a great cheese replacement and adapts to the taste of your ingredients. And, it’s loaded with protein!

Artichoke Hearts: Don’t be a hero and try to harvest your own. Too complicated. The stuff in the can is perfect and it’s available year round. You need a 15-ounce can. Be sure to rinse and drain.

Spinach, Onion & Garlic: Spinach, onion and garlic has to be one of the best combinations on the planet. I like using fresh spinach, but frozen works just as well. USE WHAT YOU GOT!

Nutritional Yeast: I can’t say enough about this stuff. It’s a vegan cheese dream. It’s loaded with B-vitamins and won’t clog your arteries like that block of cow wax.

Lemon Juice: Self-explanatory.

How To Make Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip

Cook onions and spinach: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Toss in your onions and cook until they’re soft. Feel free to use a couple tablespoons of water if needed to prevent them from sticking. Next, add your spinach and cook until it’s all wilted. If you’re using frozen spinach, cook long enough for it to heat up.

Tofu, lemon juice, yeast, garlic & spices: Throw all these ingredients into your food processor and blend until everything is super smooth. You may have to stop and scrape down the sides as you go. But, it’s a small price to pay for what you are about to experience.

Grind it all together: Once your spinach and onions are done, add to the food processor with the tofu mixture along with the artichoke hearts. Pulse a few times to get it fairly smooth, but leave some chunks.

Baking: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a baking dish with parchment paper or use a nonstick baking dish. Remember, we don’t cook with oil at Shane & Simple. Silicone baking pans are also great for nonstick cooking and baking!

Add the mixture to your baking dish and bake for 15 minutes. Next, remove the dip from the oven and sprinkle my Plant-based Parmesan on top of the vegan spinach artichoke dip. Place it back in the oven and bake for another 15 minutes.

That’s it! Now, just let it sit for a few minutes so you don’t burn the roof of your mouth. Once it’s cooled for a few minutes…GO CRAZY! Enjoy this amazing vegan spinach artichoke dip with toasted bread, whole wheat pitas, my healthy tortilla chips or fresh veggies.
