If you have invited a lot of homies and want to make them all please but couldn’t find that what to cook for them? Then this recipe is the one for you. 

Because the creamy artichoke dip of gluten-free spinach is a crowd-pleaser. And guess what no one can trace that it’s gluten-free. 

Interesting? Well, the cooking process of this food is more interesting. Wanna know how to make it? 

Take a quick look at the following guide and learn the easiest way to make gluten-free spinach artichoke. So, without any further ado, let’s begin: 

Ingredients:

• 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
• 1 (14.5 ounces) can of artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Gluten-free finger food crackers or veggie sticks for dipping

Instructions:

Step 1

Take a bowl, or you can use a food processor instead to mix:

• Spinach
• Artichoke hearts 
• Cream cheese
• Parmesan cheese
• Mayonnaise, garlic, and thyme. 

Then, season with some salt and pepper to add extra flavor to your dish. If you’re using a food processor, you have to blend the artichoke hearts to creamy and smooth. And if you’re doing it by your hand then mash it before mixing everything together.

Step 2

Done with the mixture? Now, you’ve to put the mixture into a baking dish. Then, bake it at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes. But I’m kinda analog. I usually bake until it’s all bubbly and hot. 

Step 3

Take it out of the oven and enjoy it warm with gluten-free crackers. 

Variation: 

If you want a richer flavor, just add a splash of dry white wine or lemon juice to the mixture before baking. 

3. Gluten Free Finger Foods Cheesy Garlic Knots

I think gluten-free cheesy garlic knots are the food of  Eden. Don’t you believe it? Then let’s cook and after that you tell me if I’m wrong. 

What’s the recipe? Here it is:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum (found in most grocery stores)
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• Pinch of salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

Step 1

A medium bowl would be enough for mixing almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum,  garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. So take it and whisk them all together. 

Then, take another bowl. There, mix olive oil and almond milk. And pour the ingredients into dry ingredients, and stir to make a soft dough out of it.

If your dough gets sticky, don’t worry.  You just have to add a little more almond flour to the tablespoon to make it easier to work with. 

Step 2

Now, heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Put parchment paper on a baking sheet and take small pickles of dough. And roll them into long ropes (6-8 inches). And tie each rope into a knot, then put them on the baking sheet. 

Step 3

Mix melted butter and minced garlic and brush the tops of each knot with the mixture. After that, mix mozzarella and Parmesan cheese in a separate bowl and sprinkle them on the knots.

Step 4

Bake for 15 minutes. If you see the cheese has melted and seems bubbly, then your work is done. Now you can enjoy it, and if you want, then you can gimme feedback.  I am waiting. 

Tips:

• If you’re the one who likes the knots chewier, then use a bit less almond flour. 
• If you’re a garlic lover like me then you can add an extra clove to the melted butter for an even stronger garlic taste.
