Healthy Spinach Artichoke Dip

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large nonstick skillet heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and chopped onion and saute until tender, about 2 minutes. Chop one can of artichoke hearts into 1/2″ pieces. Add pieces to skillet and heat for one minute. Add spinach leaves, turning constantly until leaves have softened. Remove from heat.

In a small food processor, blend remaining can of artichoke hearts until smooth. Add salt and pepper and mix to combine. Spoon puree into a medium bowl. Add sauteed spinach and artichoke heart mixture and fold to combine. Add 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and stir.

Place mixture into a 2-3 cup oven-safe crock. Top with remaining 1/4 cup cheese and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then place oven on high broil, and broil until cheese is lightly browned.

Allow to cool for 5 minutes prior to serving. Serve with Wasa crackers, flatbread, or pita chips.
