How to Make Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip (Step-by-Step)

  1. Prep the Oven – Preheat oven to 400°F.

  2. Blanch the Spinach – Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and prepare a bowl of ice water. Blanch spinach for 1 minute, then place it in ice water to cool.

  3. Drain & Chop – Squeeze out excess moisture from the spinach and chop finely.

  4. Combine the Veggies – Add chopped spinach, artichokes, and green onions to a medium bowl.

  5. Make the Creamy Sauce – Soak cashews in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain. Add cashews to a high-speed blender with water, olive oil, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, garlic, salt, Dijon mustard, and onion powder. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  6. Mix It Together – Pour the creamy sauce into the spinach and artichoke mixture and stir to combine.

  7. Bake – Transfer mixture to an oven-safe dish (8×8 or 9×11). Bake for about 10 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.

  8. Serve Warm – Enjoy with crackers, crostini, or sliced veggies.
