Spinach Artichoke Dip — common questions

Can I make spinach artichoke dip ahead?

Yes, assemble it completely in the baking dish up to 1 day ahead, cover with foil, and refrigerate; when ready to serve, bake at 350°F for 30–35 minutes (add 10 minutes because it starts cold) until the edges bubble and the top is golden.

What's the most common mistake in spinach artichoke dip?

Not squeezing the spinach dry enough—excess water will cause the dip to break and become watery, so wring the thawed spinach in a clean towel until no water drips out.

Can I make this in a slow cooker?

Yes, transfer the finished mixture to a slow cooker set on low heat and keep it warm for up to 2 hours, stirring occasionally; the texture will be slightly softer than baked but still creamy.

Can I freeze spinach artichoke dip?

Yes, freeze it unbaked in the baking dish covered tightly with foil or plastic wrap for up to 1 month; bake from frozen at 350°F for 40–45 minutes until golden and bubbling.

Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?

You can use 5 cups of fresh spinach leaves (about 5 oz); wilt them in a hot skillet until completely tender, then squeeze very dry in a kitchen towel before folding into the mixture.

What do I serve spinach artichoke dip with?

Round wheat crackers or tortilla chips are traditional; you can also serve it with fresh vegetables like bell pepper and celery slices, or toasted baguette slices.
