A Few Tips From My Kitchen
- Don’t over-process the artichokes, you want a little texture, not a paste
- Use a good quality Parmesan for the best flavor
- Bake until it’s bubbling and lightly browned on top for that perfect finish
- Serve it warm, this is when it’s at its absolute best
How I Serve It
I usually set this out with gluten-free crackers and toasted crostini, but it’s also amazing with fresh veggies if you want something lighter. No matter what you serve it with, it’s guaranteed to be the center of attention.
And yes, I always make a double batch now. Learned that the hard way.
Yes! You can prepare the dip, cover it, and refrigerate it before baking. When ready to serve, just bake until hot and bubbly.
This version includes Parmesan cheese, but you can experiment with dairy-free alternatives. Just note the flavor and texture may vary slightly.
It adds a bold garlic flavor with a tangy kick, replacing the need for multiple ingredients while enhancing the overall taste.
You can, but they will add extra oil and seasoning, which may change the flavor. Drained canned artichokes keep the balance just right.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze it before baking. Thaw overnight in the fridge and bake as directed.
Gluten-free crackers, crostini, or fresh vegetables all work perfectly.
