Paleo Spinach Artichoke Dip {Whole30, Keto}
An easy and delicious Paleo version of one of my favorite appetizers! This Paleo Spinach Artichoke Dip is Whole30, Keto, gluten free, and dairy free.
I’m honestly surprised that it took me this long to get a Paleo Spinach Artichoke Dip recipe up on the blog! It’s one of my all-time favorite appetizers, but unfortunately the dairy doesn’t sit so well anymore. I’ve made a couple different versions from paleo cookbooks, but they all took a LONG time/had multiple steps involved. I wanted to create one that could be prepped and mixed within 10 minutes or less before popping it into the oven. This was a big hit at our Halloween party this weekend!
Let’s Chat Ingredients:
I used Sir Kensington’s Avocado Oil Mayo for this recipe because it’s my favorite. It used to have sugar, but they recently reformulated it without it! So it’s now Whole30 friendly and Keto. I get a huge jar of it every time I go to Costco so we always have it on hand. You can also use homemade mayo if you have a recipe you love to use – I’ve just found that I prefer to use store-bought.
For the coconut cream, you can either use the hardened thick part on the top of a can of full fat coconut milk, or you can get a can of coconut cream. I love Native Forest Brand from Thrive Market.
Nutritional Yeast is what gives this dish the cheesy flavor without any dairy. I usually get it at Trader Joe’s, but you can also find it on Thrive Market or in your local grocery store. You can omit it, but it won’t have that cheesy flavor!
If you’re doing a Whole30, make sure to stick with veggies for dipping! If you’re enjoying your food freedom, then this is amazing with some Siete grain free tortilla chips!

Paleo Spinach Artichoke Dip (Whole30, Keto)
Ingredients
- 2 14.5 oz cans artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped, reserve a few leaves to decorate the top
- 3 cups raw spinach, coarsely chopped
- 1.5 cups mayonnaise, I like Sir Kensington's Avocado Oil Mayo
- ¼ cup coconut cream, only the thick part of a can of full-fat coconut milk!
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp paprika
- dash cayenne pepper
Equipment
- 9x9 baking dish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 2.5-3 qt casserole dish with ghee or olive oil. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Pour into the casserole dish and spread out evenly. Use the few artichoke leaves you set aside to create a "flower" decoration on the top (see photos above - optional). Bake for 25-30 minutes until the sides are bubbling and the dip is hot. Serve with fresh veggies or grain free tortilla chips. Enjoy!

Such a great recipe that we devour way too fast! It’s a staple for me on W30 when I feel food fatigue and need to get myself excited about a recipe!
I sometimes substitute the Kensington Mayonnaise out for Kitehill Cream Cheese and it tastes delicious either way 🙂
Love that addition!
This recipe is delicious and always a hit for any crowd. My family can’t believe it’s paleo!
Woo hoo!
If I need to make this for a large crowd, should the recipe be doubled for a 9×13 pan or what would you recommend?Â
Yes, I would double it and use a 9×13 pan!
I haven’t made this yet but can you dump everything into a crockpot rather than baking it?
Yes that should work!!
Loved it! Thank you, Mary!
So glad to hear it – thank you!
Do you measure the spinach before or after you chop it?
Before 🙂
Hi. How long will this stay good in frig if I make before a trip?
If I could give this 10 stars I would. This dish was easy but man was it more than delicious. So happy I bought extra supplies because I will be making this again and again,Â
Can you sub cashew cream for the coconut cream?
Yes, absolutely!
So good! Can this also be put together ahead of time and baked the next day?Â
Yes it can!
Can you use frozen spinach? Thanks!
Yes, you will need to thaw and squeeze all the water out using paper towels first, though!
I am non-dairy and mostly follow a paleo diet, this is one of my favorite dips to eat and share with friends. I have halved it and it still turned out great. Going to make it again tomorrow!
Can you taste the coconut?
No I don’t at all!
Thanks Nichole!!
Hi!  I love your website and all your recipes. I do have a question and could use some guidance please! I followed this recipe and it tasted great. My dip turned out oily though? I am not sure if its from the artichokes or coconut cream?  I used canned artichokes and drained them. So I am wondering if in addition I should have patted down the artichokes more to get any extra water out? I also am wondering  if I let too much of the liquid from the coconut cream into the pan? My coconut cream I used had a lot of liquid in it. I did use the brand you recommended for coconut cream as well. Anything will help! Thanks so much in advance!
Hi Kelli! Sorry you had that issue (and for this delayed response!) – For the coconut cream, you are only supposed to use the thick part of a can of coconut milk…none of the watery clear part. That could’ve been the issue!
My daughter & I devoured a 1/2 recipe of this for lunch!! Definitely delicious and destined to be repeated on frequent rotation!
Woo hoo! Glad to hear it!
I can’t have the yeast is there something else or can I just leave it out?Â
ThanksÂ
You can sub in parmesan cheese if you tolerate dairy – otherwise just omit. It might not have the same cheesy flavor without the yeast but will still be good!
can i make this with a vegan mayo? I have an egg allergy.
Yes that should work!
I just made this and everyone was surprised it’s dairy free! Now can this be placed in a crock pot to keep warm? Thanks!Â
Yes that would work!
This is so good! I usually add sausage (whole 30 no sugar) and spaghetti squash to make a meal out of it. So good!
What kind of sausage do you add?Â
Any kind you want! Some Butcher Box Italian sausage would be good.
Is there something else you can use besides coconut cream?
Unfortunately I haven’t tested it with anything besides coconut milk or coconut cream.
What coconut cream did you use? This looks delicious !
