Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 1.5 cups artichoke hearts (canned or jarred, drained and chopped)
- 1 cup raw cashews (soaked for at least 4 hours)
- 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup onion (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 0.5 cup vegan mozzarella cheese (shredded, optional for topping)
- 0.25 cup vegan parmesan cheese (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large skillet to medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, sauté the minced garlic and finely chopped onion for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine soaked cashews, almond milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the cashew mixture to a mixing bowl, then fold in the cooked spinach, sautéed onion, and chopped artichoke hearts.
Pour the mixture into an oven-safe dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle vegan mozzarella or parmesan cheese (if using) on top for extra cheesy flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, sliced baguette, crackers, or fresh cut veggies.
