Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz fresh spinach (about 280g), roughly chopped
  • 1 can (14 oz/400g) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream (120ml)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (50g)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 can (15 oz/425g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1½ teaspoons harissa paste
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the drained chickpeas with olive oil, harissa paste, cumin, smoked paprika, and salt until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even crisping.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Season lightly with salt.
  6. Transfer the cooked spinach to a mixing bowl. Stir in the cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan, and chopped artichokes. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  8. Spoon the creamy spinach-artichoke mixture into a serving bowl. Top generously with the roasted harissa chickpeas.
  9. Drizzle the honey mustard sauce over the top. Serve warm or at room temperature, alongside pita chips, toasted baguette slices, or crunchy veggies.

Notes

If cream cheese isn’t soft enough, microwave for 15 seconds for easier mixing. Toss chickpeas halfway through roasting for better crispiness. Drain artichokes well to avoid watery dip. Use fresh spinach for best texture. Reheat leftovers gently with a splash of milk or water to keep creamy. For vegan version, swap dairy ingredients with plant-based alternatives.
