Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh spinach

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Wash the spinach thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris and pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 2
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, allowing it to become hot but not smoking.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Step 5
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the fresh spinach to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the garlic and olive oil.
Step 6
Season the spinach with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and tender.
Step 7
If desired, add the soy sauce to the skillet and stir to incorporate. Cook for an additional 30 seconds to blend the flavors.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir-fried spinach to a serving dish.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a side dish or a light keto-friendly main meal.
