Step Seven: Once the time has passed, take off the lid.

Variations
Use frozen spinach - If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach. Just be sure to thaw it completely and squeeze out as much water as you possibly can. If there is too much water, you will have a dip that is soggy and runny.
How to make without the Air Fryer Lid
If you don't have an air fryer lid, you can still make this using the Instant Pot. To make this artichoke dip in the Instant Pot directly:
1. Add ½ cup of broth to the Instant Pot.
2. Add the spinach, cream cheese, sour cream, mayo, garlic, salt, and artichokes, and stir with a wooden spoon.
3. Put on the Instant Pot lid and cook for 7 minutes on high pressure.
4. Once the time has passed, do a quick release.
5. Add the cheese and then stir for 2 minutes.
6. Serve and enjoy 🙂
Recipe Notes

Yes, you can add this dip to the freezer. Just store it in a freezer-safe container that is airtight, and it should stay fine for up to 1 month.
