Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender spinach: Look for spinach with deep green leaves and avoid any that are wilted or yellowed.
  • Wash the spinach thoroughly: Rinse the spinach in cold water several times to remove any dirt or grit.
  • Use a large skillet: This will help the spinach cook evenly and prevent it from becoming crowded.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat: This will help the spinach cook quickly and evenly.
  • Add the spinach in batches: This will prevent the spinach from steaming instead of sautéing.
  • Stir the spinach constantly: This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Season the spinach to taste: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Serve the spinach immediately: Sautéed spinach is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Sautéed spinach is a quick, easy, and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a larger meal. It is a great way to get your daily dose of greens and can be easily customized to your liking.
