KETO SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP

No appetizer buffet is complete without some type of spinach dip. Some are hot, some cold. I like them all! After all, they are full of spinach and therefore should count as a serving of vegetables, right? Yes.

I made a cooked version and kept the carbs low to make it keto spinach artichoke dip. But all your guests will enjoy it, I promise. 😀

WHAT MAKES THIS SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP KETO?

Most spinach dips are based on cream cheese, mayo and/or sour cream. As long as you stick with the full-fat versions, you will produce a keto-friendly dip.

What I like about this recipe is it uses no soup or salad dressing seasoning packet. When you read the labels on those items, you find they contain a surprising number of hidden carbs. By eliminating the use of these mixes, you avoid all the added sugars and unpronounceable ingredients.

Instructions:

  1. Place chopped spinach in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Set aside to cool. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Take the cooled spinach and squeeze out as much water as you can. (I use a kitchen towel for this Set aside.
  3. Place cream cheese in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 10-20 seconds to warm. Cream cheese should be warm enough to stir. Then, add in the mayo, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, chopped artichokes, garlic, black pepper and about half of the shredded cheese. Stir to combine.
  4. Add spinach and stir well to combine.
  5. Transfer to a 1 to 1½ quart casserole dish or other oven proof container. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
  6. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes, until hot and bubbly. Serve warm.
