Garlic Sautéed Spinach

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound baby spinach
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and saute for 30 seconds. You don't want the garlic browning too much.
  2. Add the baby spinach to the pan. It will be a big mound, and you can use your hands to pack it in. Use tongs or a spatula to carefully flip the spinach over, so that all of the pieces get covered in oil and garlic.
  3. Cover the pan for a minute to let it steam, then stir again. Repeat this process until the spinach is wilted down, about 5 minutes later.
  4. Season with salt and pepper, then serve.
