Vegan Gluten Free Spinach Artichoke Dip

Total time45 min

Prep time15 min

Cook time30 min

Warm artichoke hearts and well-drained spinach come together in a thick, savory dip that bakes up bubbling at the edges with a deeply golden top. Garlic gets its moment right up front, sautéed until fragrant before the rest of the filling builds around it, and a hit of crushed red pepper flakes adds a nice warmth if you want it. The texture here is everything: thick, scoopable, and rich enough that every bite feels indulgent, with that gorgeous browned top layer giving way to a creamy interior underneath. Baked in a simple dish until set and golden, it's the kind of shareable appetizer that disappears fast at any gathering. This one's a genuinely solid pick for a vegan spread, and it pairs beautifully with your favorite crackers or bread for dipping.

Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp cornstarch
¾ cup whole milk
Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened soy milk, measured 1:1. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in sauces, custards, and baked goods. For hot or acidic drinks, a barista-style soy milk resists curdling.
8 oz cream cheese, softened and cut into chunks
½ cup sour cream
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
Chef's tip
If the dish is baked or melted, cover it or keep the heat gentle - dairy-free shreds melt more slowly than dairy cheese.
½ cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
Chef's tip
Choose a grated-style vegan parmesan and use the same amount.
1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed very dry
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

For serving

gluten free crackers or gluten free bread, for serving (optional)
