Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 - 16 oz pkg. Fresh spinach pre-washed clip and remove any large stems
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp powdered garlic = 2 cloves of fresh chopped or minced garlic, if you prefer
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
Prep:
- Clip and remove any large stems from spinach leaves.
Cook:
- In a 12-inch non-stick skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium heat. If using fresh garlic, add it at this time. Immediately add the spinach and stir and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted and is tender.
- Turn off the heat and add seasonings to your taste preferences. Stir & serve. My favorite combination is garlic powder, garlic salt, and pepper. Feel free to experiment and find your favorite. You can also enhance it by adding crispy cooked bacon pieces, balsamic vinegar, or even a light sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
