Artichoke hearts – Marinated artichoke hearts that are in a jar work well for this recipe. Spinach – Frozen chopped spinach will be mixed together. It does not need to be thawed. Cream cheese – Stir in a creamy blend of cream cheese to the mixture. It is smooth and creamy with a sweet taste. Parmesan cheese – Use the fresh parmesan cheese that is shredded not the parmesan cheese that comes in a canister that is a powdered texture. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese overtop the spinach and artichoke mixture to melt and blend together. Red pepper flakes – Add a little heat to the dip! Every few bites there is a little extra spice to add to the flavor. Garlic powder – This is a spice that is derived from dried garlic cloves. It tastes and smells very similar to garlic itself. It is a great way to add garlic with a subtle texture.

Suggestions for this Dip
These are great tips and suggestions for making the best spinach and artichoke dip. Don’t over-mix the mixture, try using fresh spinach, or make it ahead are some great tips to start you on. Try some of these ideas for your next spinach dip appetizer!
Mixing tip – The secret to perfect baked spinach artichoke dip is not over-mixing. Stirring the mixture too much could smash the artichokes and spinach. So make sure to mix ingredients until just combined. Make ahead – This is the perfect recipe to make ahead of time! The flavors blend together better and better over time. It’ll stay nice and fresh in the fridge for up to a week. It even freezes well for up to two months. Just thaw in the fridge and reheat either in the microwave or oven. Garlic substitute – If you swap out garlic powder for fresh garlic, try to use up the recipe within three days, as minced garlic can give off a bitter flavor after that. Thaw spinach – To keep your dip from becoming watery or runny, thaw your spinach in warm water then squeeze it totally dry with paper towels to release the excess liquid. Fresh spinach – We love using frozen spinach in this recipe, but you can use fresh spinach too! Chop one pound of fresh spinach, cook, then squeeze dry just as you would the frozen spinach to release the excess moisture.
Storing Artichoke and Spinach Dip
Place the leftovers into an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for three to four days long. When ready to reheat the artichoke and spinach dip, place the dip in an oven or microwave until it is warmed through. Start dipping and enjoy!
