Ingredients
- 10 cups fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems. Allow the spinach to drain or pat dry with a clean towel to remove excess water.
Step 2
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
In a large skillet or wok, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 5
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the spinach to the pan. Use tongs to toss the spinach continuously as it begins to wilt. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Once the spinach is wilted, sprinkle in the red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper. Continue tossing the spinach to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the cooked spinach. Toss once more to combine.
Step 8
Transfer the stir-fried spinach to a serving dish and serve immediately.
