This instant pot artichoke dip makes a great appetizer for family gatherings or any special event. With only a handful of ingredients and a few simple steps this is one of my favorite easy recipes!
Made with artichoke hearts, parmesan cheese, and a couple of other basic ingredients, you get this delicious creamy dip. Serve with tortilla chips, pita chips (if not gluten-free), or your favorite raw veggies!
Using the instant pot is one of the easiest ways to make hot dips. You can combine the ingredients and the let the instant pot do it’s thing! It allows for more oven space and more time for other cooking.
Instant pot recipes are my go-to when I’m pressed for time on a busy weeknight. Mississippi chicken instant pot style paired with instant pot carrots makes for an easy and healthy dinner! I also love our instant pot chicken noodle soup.
This dip is great served during football season or on my super bowl charcuterie board! Addicting dips like this one and my sour cream chip dip are such a crowd pleaser on game night! This Instant Pot chicken pasta is another quick and delicious Instant Pot dish.

What do you eat with artichoke dip?
This depends a lot on personal preference but you can serve your artichoke dip with gluten-free crackers, bagel chips, tortilla chips, pita chips, french bread, vegetables, etc.
Classic crackers are my go-to but feel free to get more creative. It’s also great served before our instant pot broccoli cheddar soup.
What is artichoke dip made of?
Depending on the recipe artichoke dip can be made of a variety of ingredients. Some recipes call for cream cheese, fresh spinach, mozzarella cheese, and even low fat / nonfat greek yogurt. But this recipe only calls for 4 basic ingredients.
Water packed artichokes
You’ll want to drain your canned artichoke hearts before adding to the instant pot. Canned artichokes are easier and work best compared to fresh artichokes.
Mayonnaise
This hot artichoke dips calls for mayonnaise which you probably already have at your house! Feel free to use light mayo or any other version of mayonnaise you prefer.
Parmesan cheese
Grated parmesan cheese is going to make this a cheesy dip. Feel free to add other types of shredded cheese as well but do note it might impact the texture and cooking time.
Green chillies
One can of chopped green chilies adds a nice little kick to this recipe. They’re not too hot but pair perfectly with the instant pot artichokes.
Additional ingredients
I like this recipe as is, but there are a few additions you’re welcome to make. Chopped spinach or frozen spinach is a common ingredient in spinach artichoke dip. Additionally, lemon juice goes well in artichoke dip as well.

No, a whole artichoke is the entire artichoke while the hearts are the leaves. The leaves are more tender and sweeter than the stock or the artichoke but all parts are edible.
