Roasted Garlic Spinach Artichoke Dip

Cheesy with rich garlic, spinach, and artichokes, this Roasted Garlic Spinach Artichoke dip will knock your and your friend’s socks off. You can’t buy this dip at the store; trust me, I’ve tried. It’s just not the same. The work is assembly, and the rest gets married together in a cast iron that crisps the sides of the parmesan in the oven, taking that garlic to new heights.

Don’t forget you can pin it to your PINTEREST board for future reference :))

How to make Roasted Garlic Spinach Artichoke Dip

Don’t fret—this is easy! If you can, try not to wait until the last minute. The good news is that you want it warm out of the oven when the guests arrive. This is the perfect and most heavenly dip they could ask for; warm and fresh—you’re killin’ it!!

REMINDER! You can also assemble it in cast iron way ahead of time…then just put it in the oven when the time comes closer. You can prep this dippin’ dish up to three days ahead!!

Let’s start with how to make it!

Comment at the end of this page for any questions or comments 🙂

Step One: Gather ingredients; start your oven

Gather ingredients and get a couple of sheets of foil, an oven-tolerant large pan (cast iron is preferred), a mixing bowl and spoon, some measuring spoons, and a cup. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

This is my dream cast iron set…complete with handles, a rack, and even a scraper! Kevin…I want this!! You can do all kinds of cooking with it—camping, pressure cooking, oven cooking, and, honest to God, all the types of cooking. Period.

Gathering ingredients and supplies helps balance duties with every recipe 😉.

Step two: Roast the Garlic bulb

Start by roasting the garlic. Cut the tip of the head off where you can see the tops of the garlic. Wrap the bottom in foil. Cover with oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven at 400 degrees for 20 minutes while you are making the rest of the dip.

Step Three: Cook and Cut the Spinach

In the cast iron pan (which you will use to complete the dip), cook the fresh chopped spinach in a dash of oil with a dash of salt and pepper. Let it cook until it wilts and is small.

You can use fresh or frozen spinach for this step! However, I like to cut up the spinach so you can get the bite-size pieces of dip you need.

Step Four: Dice Artichokes; Mix ingredients

Open your can of artichokes in the mixing bowl (with juice). If they are whole, chop them into bite-size pieces and place them back into the bowl. Add the sauteed (chopped) spinach, bag of parmesan, a cup of sour cream, 2 tsp of garlic powder, and one heaping tablespoon of truffled parmesan.

I buy my truffled parmesan at Costco and have seen it at Trader Joe’s, but if you don’t have either…Amazon is the way to go. I would buy this if I couldn’t find it anywhere else. Stores can get weird about what they stock and don’t stock.

Step Five: Dice Roasted Garlic

Grab the roasting garlic in the oven. With a hot pad, squeeze the sides to release the garlic pods onto a cutting board. Add as many as you want (since they are roasted, they are not very strong and more robust)—I use the whole bulb. Dice them up and add to the bowl of spinach.

Step Six: Combine and place in Cast Iron; Cook.

Add the spinach mix to the cast iron pan (you used for spinach) and spread evenly. Add sliced parmesan for the top (optional) and place in the oven. Cook for 25-30 minutes until bubbly, and the parmesan is slightly crispy on top.

Step seven: Eating Utensils (Optional 😁)

Dip a toasted baguette or water crackers into the cast iron and enjoy!

Keys to success:

• Keep ingredients at bite size so they are easier to dip.
• Adding too much cheese is not a thing (I have never heard of it)
• This is a great dip to prep up to 3 days ahead. Then, throw it in the oven for 40 minutes instead of 30, until bubbly and the cheese is crispy.
• Make sure to use an oven-safe pan…preferably a seasoned cast iron
• Add more sour cream if you like a juicy dip
• Add more parmesan cheese if you like it cheezy with extra cheezy
