Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen in this dip?

Yes, you can! Fresh spinach works just as well, though you'll need to wash it thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. Simply chop it into small pieces and sauté it briefly to soften before mixing it into your dip.

Can I make this spinach artichoke dip ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the dip in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. When you're ready to serve, simply bake it in the oven or reheat it in a skillet until bubbly and warm.

Can I add more flavor to this dip?

Yes! If you'd like to enhance the flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat, a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for extra cheesiness, or some vegan Parmesan cheese on top before baking for added flavor depth.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking dish or a cast iron skillet by greasing it lightly with cooking spray or oil.
In your prepared dish, combine the vegan mozzarella cheese, diced onion, minced garlic, fresh spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, salt, pepper, and dried basil.
Pour in the almond milk and stir everything together until well combined.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese is melted.
Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes to brown the top of the dip.
Serve warm with pita chips, baguette slices, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

If using fresh spinach, make sure to wash it thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit.
You can substitute any plant-based milk for almond milk, such as soy or oat milk.
To add extra flavor, try topping the dip with vegan parmesan cheese or red pepper flakes before baking.
This dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for 2-3 days. Simply reheat it in the oven before serving.
If the dip becomes too thick, add a splash more almond milk to achieve the desired consistency.
