What to Dip in Crockpot Spinach Artichoke Dip
This dip is the perfect accompaniment to all your favorite savory dipping options. You name it, you can dip it in this tasty dip. Here are some of our favorite options:
Tortilla Chips – The salty crunch of tortilla chips contrasts beautifully with the creamy richness of the dip. Opt for plain, multigrain, or flavored varieties for added dimension.
Baguette Slices – Toasted or fresh slices of baguette provide a sturdy base for scooping up generous amounts of dip. The crusty exterior and soft interior create a delightful textural contrast.
Crackers – Choose your favorite crackers—whether it’s classic butter crackers, sturdy wheat crackers, or even gluten-free options. They add a satisfying crunch and are perfect for dipping.
Vegetable Sticks – For a healthier option, serve the dip with an assortment of raw vegetable sticks such as carrot sticks, celery sticks, bell pepper strips, cucumber slices, or cherry tomatoes. Not only do they add color and freshness, but they also provide a satisfying crunch.
Pita Chips – These sturdy, crispy chips are ideal for scooping up thick dips like spinach artichoke. They come in various flavors and can even be homemade for an extra special touch like our recipe for Zaatar pita chips.
Breadsticks – Whether store-bought or homemade, breadsticks offer a fun and flavorful alternative for dipping. Their elongated shape makes them perfect for scooping up generous amounts of dip.
Pretzels – Soft or crunchy pretzels provide a slightly salty and chewy complement to the creamy dip. They’re a popular choice for dipping and add a unique twist to the flavor profile.
Pork Rinds – Pork rinds, also known as pork skins, provide a satisfyingly crunchy and flavorful base for dipping. They’re an excellent low-carb alternative to traditional chips or crackers. Look for plain or seasoned pork rinds, depending on your preference.
How to Store Crockpot Spinach Artichoke Dip
To store leftover Crockpot spinach artichoke dip, let the dip cool completely before placing it in an airtight container (we love these glass containers with locking lids for storing dips!) and place it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
You don’t want to put any hot food into an airtight container as it can create moisture, which can cause the dip to spoil faster.

Tips for Making Crockpot Spinach Artichoke Dip
- Don’t try to speed up the cooking time by cooking the dip on high. LOW and SLOW! This dip is worth the wait.
- While Crockpot cooking is mostly hands-off, it’s a good idea to give the dip an occasional stir to ensure everything is melting and blending together evenly. This prevents any hot spots or unevenly mixed areas.
- Feel free to customize the flavors to your liking. Add extra cheese for more richness, adjust the seasoning to suit your taste preferences, or incorporate additional ingredients like diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- If your crockpot has a “keep warm” function, switch to this setting once the dip is cooked to maintain its temperature for serving. Alternatively, use a warming dish to maintain the temperature during parties or gatherings.
