    Can we all just agree that the best part of winter might be the warm and hearty, stick-to-your-bones food that accompanies it? I mean, in addition to the fabulous winter clothes, cozy blankets, and general merry-making. This Keto Artichoke Spinach Dip is a fantastic way to embrace the cold winter air with a delicious salty + savory warm-up that fits a low-carb diet.

    How to serve Keto Artichoke Spinach Dip

    I love to serve this dip with Keto-friendly vessels like pork rinds, bake parmesan crisps (because you can never have too much cheese), or lower carb veggies like celery, cucumber, and bell peppers. For those not abstaining from the carbs, but wanting to limit grain or gluten, I love this dip with Siete Grain Free Tortillas Chips or grain-free toast points.

    On the off chance you actually have leftovers

    This Keto Artichoke Spinach Dip is superb as a low-carb filling for stuffed mushrooms or baby bell peppers. It's so good I slathered a bit on top of gluten-free toast and topped it with a fried egg for breakfast one morning. No regrets.

    A note for special diets

    This Keto Artichoke Spinach Dip is grain-free, gluten-free, low-carb, low-lactose, vegetarian, and friendly for SIBO diets. I choose to use a combination of lactose-free cream cheese and low-lactose aged cheese for this to keep it SIBO-friendly. Sharp cheddar, parmesan, and gruyere are aged cheeses which usually only containing trace amounts (0.5 grams or less) of lactose. If you are not lactose-sensitive, regular cream cheese works perfectly as well in place of the lactose-free. For those following a Keto diet, the net carb count per ½ cup serving of this Artichoke Spinach Dip is only 3 grams.

    Description

    This Keto Artichoke Spinach Dip is a fantastic way to embrace the cold winter air with a delicious salty + savory warm-up that fits a low-carb diet.


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
    • 4 tbsp garlic oil (may sub 3 cloves minced garlic and 4 tbsp olive oil)
    • 16 oz frozen spinach
    • 2 (8.5 oz) cans artichoke hearts, roughly chopped
    • 8 oz cream cheese (I prefer this lactose-free version)
    • 1 cup sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded
    • 1 ½ cups parmesan cheese, shredded and divided
    • 1 cup gruyere cheese, shredded
    • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
    • ½ tsp cracked black pepper
    • ¼ tsp sea salt
    • ¼ tsp nutmeg, ground
    • ¼ tsp mustard powder

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C).
    2. In a large skillet, melt the butter and garlic oil (or minced garlic) together over medium heat.
    3. Add the spinach and artichoke hearts to the pan and sautee for a few minutes until spinach has thawed.
    4. Add the cream cheese, white cheddar, 1 cup of parmesan, and gruyere and mix to combine.
    5. Season with red pepper flakes, black pepper, salt, nutmeg, and mustard powder. Stir to combine.
    6. Once the mixture is sufficiently melted and combined, transfer it to an oven safe baking dish and top with the remaining ½ cup of parmesan.
    7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the parmesan on top is golden brown. Serve warm.

        Thank you! I have not personally tried freezing it, but I will add it to my list to test. If you try it I would love to hear about your experience.

      I made this twice this week! Once as a dry run (and because i couldn't wait to try it) and then once for a party, where it was a big hit.

      The flavors blend perfectly. You end up with two pounds of vegetables and two pounds of cheese! It is very hearty and could easily be a side dish as opposed to a dip.

      I am thinking of adding zucchini and onions and making it as a vegetable dish next time, also trying different cheeses for fun.

      I can never get enough of a creamy dip, and then when you put in Gruyere? Talk about my perfect dip! Thanks for sharing. This is always such a hit.

      Oh, MY!! The artichoke dip looks so good. I could make that into my meal. I wouldn't even need bread - crudités would be fine with me. That melting cheese is making my mouth water. We have a jar of artichokes in the pantry that would be great in this recipe.

        It's one of those fun "indulgent" dishes that you don't have to tell anyone is low carb. So much melty goodness!

      Before I comment on your recipe, I just wanted to say that the phrase "merry-making" is now mine. I have adopted/stolen it from you. I love it! 🙂
      Ok, on to serious stuff - I'm really thinking hard about jumping on the keto wagon, and you might have just convinced me. This dip looks and sounds amazing! I completely digging the addition of the mustard powder and red chili flakes! Oh, and I would TOTALLY eat this for breakfast on toast too!

        Ha! Merry-making is one of my favorite phrases too. The fella does Keto and loves it. I am a little bit more flexible with my carbs, but with dishes like this I totally don't miss them. It's awesome served with some low carb veggies or pork rinds to keep it Keto.

      I am loving the combination of cheeses with the red pepper flakes! I also love the different dipping item options like pork rinds or bake parmesan crisps- I would have never thought of those and it sounds really good.

      Well, I can't but agree with you - you are right on spot there! One of the best things about winter for me is all the special-winter-type of food that I make so this dip will be a fantastic addition! Can't wait!
