Buffalo Artichoke Dip (Vegetarian Buffalo Dip)

This post may contain affiliate links. We only promote products we actually use and truly love!

Our buffalo artichoke dip is a vegetarian version of our creamy buffalo chicken dip and is even easier to make! 5 ingredients, 5 to 10 minutes of prep, and 30 minutes in the oven is all it takes to make our new favorite vegetarian game day appetizer!

As buffalo chicken dip lovers, we were so intrigued when we saw buffalo artichoke dip on the menu at our favorite local brewery. We instantly knew it was a recipe we had to recreate (and thankfully it was super simple since we already have the best buffalo chicken dip ever). But we absolutely loved the savory, tangy artichoke hearts and how well they paired with the spicy buffalo and sharp cheddar. 

We always say how we love vegetarian recipes that aren’t just made to be vegetarian, but instead are made to be incredible and just happen to be vegetarian. And that’s exactly how we feel about this buffalo artichoke dip.

Key Ingredients

• Canned artichokes – Canned, quartered artichoke hearts make this recipe super easy since they are already cooked and partially prepared. We just want to be sure to wash them well before chopping them up and adding them to the dip to remove the super strong flavor of the brine.
• Buffalo sauce – You don’t have to use Frank’s RedHot, but nothing else tastes quite the same. And no, we don’t get paid to say that (sadly), it’s just the truth.

See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

How To Make Buffalo Artichoke Dip

Step 1: Thoroughly rinse off the artichokes to remove the brine.

Step 2: Pat them dry and roughly chop the artichokes.

Step 3: Add the chopped artichokes, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, Frank’s Red Hot, and ranch to a baking dish.

Step 4: Stir until well combined.

Step 5: Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees F before stirring it again to make sure everything is fully combined.

Step 6: Bake for an additional 10 minutes until hot and gooey. Serve immediately with tortilla chips!

Serving Suggestions

• Game days – We want to make sure everyone gets to enjoy the best game day flavor when we host football parties. Which is why we have almost endless recipes featuring the classic buffalo flavors like buffalo chicken dip sliders, buffalo cauliflower bites, and  buffalo chicken rangoons (and soooo much more). 
• An easy dinner appetizer – Because this dip takes so little effort, it’s the perfect appetizer for when you want to make weeknight dinners a little more exciting. Some of our favorite dinners to pair it with are our southwest veggie pizza, pretzel pub burger, and crispy popcorn chicken. 
• Cookouts and family parties – We always like having a variety of appetizers, so we like pairing this spicy, vegetarian dip with recipes like our creamy baked bruschetta dip, southwest egg rolls, and chili lime chicken wings.
