  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
  • 1 1/4 cups vegan chive cheese
  • Oat milk, as needed
  • 1 cup tightly packed baby spinach leaves

Instructions

FOR PANKO TOPPING:

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Stir breadcrumbs and plant-based Parmesan-style cheese on baking sheet. Bake for 5-7 minutes, stirring once, until golden brown.
  3. Cool for 10 minutes. Add fresh parsley and set aside.

FOR PLANT-BASED SPINACH-ARTICHOKE DIP:

  1. Combine water, onion, and cauliflower in a small food processor. Purée until smooth; set aside.
  2. Heat canola oil in a small skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add chopped garlic and puréed cauliflower and cook for 3 minutes. Add plant-based chive cheese and cook, stirring constantly for 5 minutes, until cheese is melted. If dip is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of oat milk at a time and thin to desired consistency.
  3. Add spinach, artichokes, and red bell pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until spinach is wilted, and artichokes are warm. Season with Tajin.
  4. Keep warm until ready to serve.

TO SERVE:
