30-Min Spinach & Artichoke Dip with Pita Chips

Oh my gosh, you HAVE to try my Spinach & Artichoke Dip with Pita Chips – it’s the one appetizer that disappears faster than I can make it at parties! I swear, every time I bring this creamy, cheesy goodness to a gathering, people hover around the bowl like it’s the last snack on earth. The secret? It’s stupid easy to make but tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen.

I first made this dip for a last-minute potluck years ago when I panicked realizing I forgot to bring something. Twenty minutes of throwing ingredients together later, and suddenly I was getting recipe requests all night! Now it’s my go-to whenever I need something guaranteed to please a crowd. That perfect combo of tangy artichokes, garlicky spinach, and melty cheeses with crispy homemade pita chips? Absolute magic.

The best part? You probably have most of these ingredients in your fridge right now. Even if you don’t, it’s just a quick grocery run away from becoming your new favorite party trick. Trust me, once you see how fast this disappears at your next gathering, you’ll understand why I always make a double batch!

Ingredients for Spinach & Artichoke Dip with Pita Chips

Okay, here’s the beauty of this recipe – the ingredients are simple, but they work absolute magic together. I’m listing exactly what you’ll need, down to the last sprinkle of cheese. Trust me, don’t skip anything – each one plays a special role in making this dip irresistible!

1 cup chopped spinach (fresh or frozen – if frozen, thaw and squeeze out ALL the water or you’ll get a sad, watery dip)

1 cup chopped artichoke hearts (the marinated kind add extra flavor, but plain works too – just chop them small so they mix in evenly)

1 cup cream cheese (full-fat, please! Let it soften at room temp for about 30 minutes so it blends smoothly)

1/2 cup sour cream (this gives that perfect tangy creaminess)

1/2 cup mayonnaise (trust me, it’s the secret to that rich, velvety texture)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (plus extra for sprinkling on top if you’re feeling extra cheesy like I always am)

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (the good stuff from the refrigerated section, not the powdery kind)

1 tsp garlic powder (or 2 cloves fresh minced garlic if you’re a garlic lover like me)

1 tsp onion powder (for that subtle background flavor)

Salt and pepper to taste (don’t skip tasting before baking – cheeses can vary in saltiness)

4 pita breads, cut into triangles (day-old pitas work great here)

2 tbsp olive oil (for brushing the pita chips – makes them crispy and golden)

See? Nothing fancy, just good stuff that comes together beautifully. Now let’s make some magic happen in the kitchen!
