Is Spinach Artichoke Dip Gluten Free?

If you’re wondering does spinach artichoke dip have gluten, the answer is maybe.

While this healthy spinach artichoke dip recipe is totally gluten free, this doesn’t mean that all spinach artichoke dip recipes are. Additionally, spinach artichoke dip is often baked in a bread bowl which would make it not appropriate for someone with celiac disease or an allergy to consume as there is significant cross contact.

If you’re purchasing store-bought spinach artichoke dip, be sure to read the label or look for a gluten free claim.

If you’re looking to make your own spinach artichoke dip gluten free, then you’re in the right place!

Can you use frozen spinach?

Yes, you can definitely make baked spinach artichoke dip with frozen spinach! To do this, be sure to completely thaw your frozen spinach, and drain all the water out.

To do this, place your spinach in a cheesecloth or tea towel and squeeze all the water out.

Can you use Greek Yogurt in this recipe?

You can sub plain Greek Yogurt for sour cream in this recipe.  The texture will be the same, but the flavor will have a bit more zing.

These are my favorite gluten free yogurt brands.

How do you Make Baked Gluten Free Spinach Artichoke Dip?

To make this dip, first you will prepare your spinach and artichoke hearts. If your spinach is frozen, thaw it and squeeze out all the water. Drain and chop your artichoke hearts.

Meanwhile, preheat your oven to broil (or highest setting) and spray an oven-safe baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

In a frying pan, saute your garlic in olive oil over medium heat for 30 seconds.

Add fresh spinach by the handful, letting each handful welt before adding more. If using frozen spinach, add to the pan and saute until heated through.

Stir frequently until most of the liquid has evaporated. This should take around 3-4 mins.

Add in the chopped artichoke hearts, sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Reduce the heat to low and add cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella cheese and mayonnaise to the spinach mixture, stirring to incorporate.

At this point, season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Pour into the prepared baking dish and top with grated Parmesan cheese.

Place in an oven and broil until the top is golden and bubbling. Watch this closely, it took me around 5-7 minutes, but this will vary depending on oven temperature.

If you don’t have a broil setting, you can simply use a hot oven instead.  Bake at 450 for 12-13 mins until your spinach dip is golden brown and bubbly.

Let the hot artichoke spinach dip rest for a few minutes before serving.

Note: If increasing the amount of this recipe remember to always use equal parts cheese, Mayo and sour cream so the flavor profile stays balanced in this delicious spinach artichoke dip.
