Vegan Artichoke Recipes

Pesto Artichoke Spread

This creative spread is a tasty mashup of basil pesto and a creamy artichoke dip. Fresh herbs and cashews are combined with rich artichoke hearts to create a lean, green spread that’s ideal for serving on toasted baguette slices, as a dip for fresh vegetables, or as a sandwich spread. Nutritional yeast lends cheesy undertones to the mixture, while white wine vinegar brightens the flavor profile with a ribbon of tangy acidity.

Baba ghanoush is a Middle Eastern dip made with cooked, mashed eggplant, creamy tahini, and zesty lemon juice. Traditional recipes call for olive oil and salt, but we’ve skipped these ingredients to create the healthiest possible version that’s still packed full of flavor. Enjoy it as a dip with fresh vegetables or as a topping for baked potatoes instead of sour cream or butter.

Homemade Berbere Spice Blend

Nutmeg, fenugreek, and turmeric add earthy flavors, and cayenne rounds everything out with a kick of heat. Make a big batch of this blend to keep in your cupboard for flavoring stews, amping up roasted veggies, or stirring into homemade hummus to give it some extra pizzazz.

Thai Red Curry Sauce

The Goldilocks of curry sauces, Thai red curry has a deeper, bolder flavor than yellow curry but less of a kick than green curry. Roasted red bell peppers give it an enticing orange hue while a medley of irresistible spices—including cumin and coriander—meld together into a mind-blowingly-good sauce. Fragrant lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf, and galangal (Thai ginger) bring in notes of citrus that pair perfectly with a touch of creamy peanut butter.
