How To Cook Air Fryer Spinach Dip Recipe
- In bowl, combine all the spinach dip ingredients.
- Air fryer sizes: If using a smaller air fryer smaller, finding a baking vessel for a whole batch of dip that will fit in the air fryer might be challenging. You might have to cook it in two smaller, shallow batches or use an accessory pan like we did. It’s a 6″ baking barrel with a handle that is deep enough to fit the whole batch of dip. It’s also small enough to fit our 3-4 qt. air fryers.
- There’s also accessories for larger air fryers too that makes it easier to cook this whole batch of dip.
- If using a larger air fryer or a tower rack-style fryer, finding a vessel that fits the whole batch is easier. Or you can buy the accessories here like we did.
- Air Fry at 300°F for about 35 minutes, stirring halfway during cooking. All recipe details are in the recipe box below that you can print out.
We’re obsessed with this accessory kit that has this cake barrel and you can buy it here. This barrel and other accessories is perfect for smaller air fryers. There’s also a set for larger air fryers too.

- Stir the dip again. Increase heat to 340°F and then continue air frying for 5-10 minutes or until golden brown.If cooking anything less than the full volume of dip, cook for less time and keep checking until it’s finished with a brown crust. Serve with celery and cucumber for a low carb, keto option.
Notes
- Recipes were cooked in 3-4 qt. air fryers. If using a larger air fryer, the recipe might cook quicker so adjust cooking time.
- If cooking in multiple batches back to back, the second batch may cook quicker. Reduce the time some to avoid overcooking.
- Remember to set a timer to stir the dip as directed in recipe.
If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).
