Spinach Artichoke Bites

When I was in high school, my mom started making artichoke dip like, all the time. I think she got a recipe from one of her friends and just got really hooked on it. Lucky for her, the rest of the family got hooked too. Now, my kids are also hooked. Why is artichoke dip so addictive? It’s so creamy, salty and full of umami flavor and so incredibly easy to make. I guess that’s why! I’ve adapted my mom’s recipe over the years, and I know that whenever I serve these Spinach Artichoke Bites that they will instantly disappear.

What’s in these little bites

Coming in at just five simple ingredients, these Spinach Artichoke Bites could not be easier to make. Here’s what you need:

• refrigerated crescent dough
• mayo
• Parmesan cheese
• spinach
• artichokes

Sneaking spinach into these Spinach Artichoke Bites is so easy, has very little effect on texture and packs a punch of super nutrition. I also feel like spinach and artichokes were just meant to be together. Try to use fresh spinach whenever you can. Buy the baby leaves that are already washed and bagged. If you’re in a jam, you could use frozen spinach but make sure you really squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

The rest is easy. Give the artichokes and spinach a rough chop, mix with the other ingredients and these pretty little puffs will be ready in minutes.

This recipe makes extra filling, so you’ve got 2 options: buy a second tube of crescent dough to make a total of 48 bites, or put the leftover filling into a small baking dish and heat it for 20 minutes on 375. Serve it with crackers.

How to serve Spinach Artichoke Bites

While I am a huge fan of dips for watching football games or for an appetizer before a nice meal, when entertaining larger groups I tend to choose finger foods that people can grab once and not be tempted to go back in for seconds. Double dipping really grosses me out, and when you have large groups of people, somebody is bound to do it. So these little bite-sized guys are the right answer.

My advice? Double the recipe. They never last long. Enjoy!
