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.
