This Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip is so creamy and packed with flavor without any dairy and it’s nut free! I feel like I’ve been using cashews for every non-dairy creamy dish lately and I wanted to try something different. When I was planning for this dip, I remembered coming across this nut-free vegan sour cream recipe from Natural Comfort Kitchen where she uses tahini. Brilliant! So I thought maybe I could try that for the creamy component of my Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip and it worked deliciously!
One of the most beautiful parts of this yummy appetizer is that it only takes one (oven proof) pan – woo! You sauté the shallot, garlic, artichokes, and spinach together, allowing it to cook down a bit before you add the tahini, oat milk, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, nutritional yeast, and salt in pepper. Then in the same pan, you top the whole thing with a crispy breadcrumb and vegan parmesan cheese mixture and pop the whole thing in the oven. You can also serve it in that same pan alongside chips, toasted bread, or crackers for a *rustic* look.
This dip would make a great addition to your Super Bowl spread in a couple weeks. It will be sure to satisfy vegan and non-vegan friends and family! For an absolutely divine vegan dip spread, serve this alongside my Vegan Caramelized Onion Dip! Yum!
