- marinated artichoke hearts: from a jar
- olive oil: to sauté shallots and garlic

🔪 Instructions
Here's an overview of the method for baking this spinach artichoke galette. Detailed instructions are in the recipe card below.
The gluten-free pastry uses a winning combination of almond flour and tapioca flour. It must be made a few hours ahead of time, or even the day before, as it needs time to chill in the fridge.
Once you're ready to begin making the galette, remove the pastry dough from the fridge to allow it to warm up towards room temperature.
You'll begin by wilting baby spinach leaves, then draining and pressing out any excess water.
Next, you'll sauté shallots and garlic, then stir in the drained spinach, drained artichoke hearts, lemon juice, basil, and salt and pepper. Set this mixture aside while you form the pastry.
Roll out the dough into a circle, leaving a 2-inch edge. Mound the filling in the center, then lift and fold one segment of dough up over the filling, then the next over the first, forming a pleat. Repeat every two inches around the circle.
Brush the dough lightly with egg wash, then bake until golden brown. Serve garnished with fresh basil leaves, or Kalamata olives, if desired.
How many will this galette serve?
I made this recipe for two, but you can easily double the recipe as written and make a full-size galette that will feed four. In fact, I'd suggest doubling the pastry recipe as written below in the recipe card. You can freeze the remaining half for another day.
If you prefer not to use gluten-free pastry, use my recipe for Never Fail Pastry that you'll find in this recipe for Mini Spinach Artichoke Tarts.
Can I use frozen spinach?
Yes, but make sure it is very well-drained and well-squeezed out to avoid soggy pastry! You'll only need about 2 ounces of frozen spinach. It may not have as much flavour as fresh.
How to store and reheat
This galette is best served warm, straight from the oven. If, on the outside chance you have leftovers, store them tightly covered in the fridge. Reheat, covered in foil in the oven at 325°F. for 10 to 15 minutes.
🍽 Serving suggestions

📖 Recipe
Gluten-Free Spinach Artichoke Galette
Equipment
Ingredients
Gluten-Free Pastry (for one small galette, double the recipe for a full-sized galette to serve four)
- ½ cup almond flour, finely ground
- ½ cup tapioca flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup butter, chilled and cubed
- ½ large egg
- ½ teaspoon honey
- a small amount of egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water, to brush on pastry before baking
Filling
- 3 ox baby spinach leaves, packed (about 2 cups)
- 1 6 oz. jar marinated artichoke hearts , (170 gm)
- 2 teaspoon olive oil, extra virgin, or avocado oil
- 2 tablespoon shallots, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon basil, dried (or 2 teaspoon fresh)
- 2 tablespoon feta cheese, crumbled
- fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
Gluten-Free Pastry
- Combine almond flour, tapioca flour, salt and cubed butter in a food processor. Pulse until butter is in pea-sized pieces.
- Add egg and honey and continue to pulse until dough comes together. Don't overprocess.
- Turn dough out on to a piece of plastic wrap. Form into a disc 6 - 8 inches in diameter, wrap tightly and and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Filling
- Wilt 2 cups baby spinach leaves in a bowl with ¼ cup water in the microwave for 1 minute on high. Drain, transfer to a colander and press with a spatula to release the excess liquid. Transfer the spinach to a cutting board and coarsely chop.
- Sauté finely chopped shallots and garlic in 2 teaspoon oil. Remove from heat and stir in spinach, artichokes, lemon juice, basil and sea salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Roll out pastry to a 9-inch round on a sheet of parchment paper. Transfer the pastry and the parchment paper to a baking sheet. Sprinkle a tablespoon or so of feta cheese in the center of the round. Leaving a 2-inch edge, mound the spinach-artichoke mixture in the middle. Gently fold one edge of the pastry up over the filling, then the next, lifting and folding one segment of dough over the first, forming a pleat. Repeat every 2 inches around the circle.
- Brush the pastry with the egg wash. Bake at 375°F. for 20 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown. Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped basil and serve.

Delicious and easy! So nice to find a gluten free crust that works so well. I used kale, artichokes and goat cheese - yum!! Have also tried the crust with vegan butter and it worked great (though my crusts never look as pretty as yours do). Thank you!
