Instructions
filling / dip
Place frozen spinach in saucepan and heat on low, stirring and flipping it occasionally, until it has completely thawed and most of the liquid has evaporated.
While the spinach is heating, roughly chop artichoke hearts and finely chop roasted red peppers. Reserve half of the roasted red pepper for garnish.
Add artichoke hearts, half of the roasted red peppers, garlic, salt and pepper to spinach and heat through. If you like a little kick, add the red pepper flakes, too.
Stir in cream cheese and parmesan until heated through and cheeses are melted.
prep
Using a ½-ounce scoop, fill mini phyllo cups and garnish with the spinach & artichoke mixture.
Garnish each cup with a very small amount of the remaining roasted red pepper. I use a dash mini measuring spoon.
bake, if desired
In an oven preheated to 350 degrees F, bake tartlets for 10 minutes, dip for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
Serve dip with tortilla chips, crackers, pretzels, pita chips, or crostini. Low carb options include celery sticks, carrot chips (slice carrots about ⅛" thick on a diagonal), cauliflower, broccoli, thickly sliced red bell pepper.
Enjoy!
