How long can you keep spinach artichoke dip in the refrigerator?
In the refrigerator, the Baked Spinach Artichoke Dip will last for 4-5 days. For a few hours, you may keep this dip warm or at room temperature.
What are the ingredients for cooking the perfect warm spinach artichoke dip?
With 20 minutes of prep time, here are the ingredients to make good for 4 servings with 35-40 minutes cooking time:
- Extra virgin olive oil, divided – Ideal for dips.
- Small gluten-free corn tortillas, cut into 8 wedges each – A healthier alternative to flour tortillas.
- Garlic powder – To add taste
- Sea salt – To add taste
- Cloves Garlic, minced – A flavor boost seasoning.
- Fresh spinach, long stems removed and roughly chopped – To drain extra liquid, thaw and squeeze.
- Fresh basil, chopped – To boost flavor
- Sea salt and black pepper – To add taste
- Jar artichokes, packed in water, drained and chopped – Drain the liquid and squeeze the artichokes on paper towels to absorb any residual liquid before chopping the artichoke hearts into bite-sized pieces.
- Full-fat sour cream – For the best overall flavor.
- Cream cheese, softened – If the cheese isn’t room temperature or softened enough, put it in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it for about 15 seconds.
- Parmesan cheese – Freshly and finely grated
- Mozzarella cheese, divided – Freshly and finely grated
What are the steps in cooking?
First, preheat the oven to 350°F with the top oven rack in the center position. Set aside a medium baking dish that has been greased with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Next, use parchment paper or a Silpat® baking mat to line a large, rimmed baking sheet. Arrange the corn tortilla wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, be careful not to overcrowd them. Place in a preheated oven and season both sides with garlic powder and sea salt to taste. Before removing from the oven, bake until crispy and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Stir tortilla chips halfway through baking for optimal results.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the remaining olive oil and minced garlic while the tortilla chips are baking. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then add the chopped spinach and basil. Cook, stirring periodically, for about 4-5 minutes, or until the spinach wilts.
Then add chopped artichokes, sour cream, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and 12 cup Mozzarella cheese to the wilted spinach mixture in a large mixing basin. Season to taste with salt and black pepper, and stir until everything is well blended.
Spread the spinach-artichoke mixture into a uniform layer in the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining Mozzarella cheese and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through and the cheese on top begins to turn golden brown.
Finally, remove from the oven and serve with toasted tortilla chips right away. Enjoy!
