I am a spinach and artichoke dip lover, however I was looking for a way to avoid eating so many chips. Well, long and behold… that is how this recipe came about. This recipe is super easy to create and its so good for quick snacking or for parties/get togethers.
Ingredients
- 3 zucchinis cut into 1/2 inch rounds
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach (drained)
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2/3 cup fresh mozzarella (shredded)
- 1/2 cup canned artichoke hearts, chopped and drained
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp of sour cream
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper
- Slice zucchini into 1/2 inch rounds
- Align zucchini on pan making sure not to crowd too much and avoid layering them
- Mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl to create spinach artichoke dip
- Using a spoon, grab some of the mixture and place it on top of each zucchini round
- Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes
- Optional: once 15 minutes have elapsed, turn the oven to broil and cook for an additional 2 minutes. This gives it a bit more crunch and color.
- Take out of the oven and let rest for 5 minutes
- Enjoy!
Note: You can also use summer squash for this recipe and it will taste just as great. Also, I once ran out of mozzarella and substituted it with cheddar cheese and it was just as good.
