Ingredients
- 16 oz fresh spinach
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing the spinach thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or grit. Shake off excess water and set aside.
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning. The garlic should be fragrant and lightly golden.
Step 5
Add the spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring it gently with a spatula until it begins to wilt down.
Step 6
As you sauté, add more spinach to the skillet as the previous batch wilts to make room.
Step 7
Once all the spinach is in the skillet and has wilted, add the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
Step 8
Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the spinach and give it one last stir.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 10
Serve the sautéed spinach immediately as a delicious paleo-friendly side dish.
