Paleo Flatbread With Artichoke Dip

Artichoke dip recipe and content provided by Brent Totty

Artichoke dip is the life of every party — and when you pair it with this paleo and low-carb flatbread, it becomes a delicious appetizer that won’t make you crash.

This artichoke dip packs extra nutrients into every bite with a little help from anti-inflammatory turmeric. Curcumin, the compound that gives turmeric its golden color, has been shown to inhibit inflammation by antagonistic molecules in the body.^[1] Best of all, this spice adds a rich and earthy flavor to recipes.

Artichokes are naturally lower in toxins and nightshades than other members of the same family, like peppers and potatoes. If you’re sensitive to nightshades, try dipping your paleo flatbread in avocado oil mayonnaise. While jarred artichokes can save on prep time, you’ll get more nutrients from fresh ones. You can trim them fresh and gently saute in ghee until tender for this artichoke dip. If you do get prepared artichoke hearts, find ones packed in glass with a BPA-free liner.

In addition to anti-inflammatory ingredients, each serving of paleo flatbread contains almost ten grams of protein and only seven grams of net carbohydrates. Party on!

Note on ingredients: Black pepper is a suspect spice on the Bulletproof Diet, and highly susceptible to performance-robbing mold toxins. To reduce your risk, omit pepper or grind it fresh using high-quality whole peppercorns. Artichokes are in the nightshade family and can cause inflammation in sensitive people.
