Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish with olive oil.

Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring until wilted. This should take about 5 minutes. Drain any excess liquid.

Allow the bake to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
