Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 360°F. Coat the inside of a 6-inch ramekin or baking dish with olive oil cooking spray.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the onion, then cook for 1 minute.
- Add in the garlic and cook, stirring for 1 minute more.
- Reduce the heat to low and mix in the spinach and water. Let this cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted. Remove the skillet from the heat.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, 2 ounces of the feta, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, along with the lemon zest, nutmeg, dill, and salt. Mix until just combined.
- Add the vegetables to the cheese base and stir until combined.
- Pour the dip mixture into the prepared ramekin and top with the remaining 2 ounces of feta cheese.
- Place the dip into the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes, or until heated through and bubbling.
- Serve with pita chips, carrot sticks, or sliced bread.
