Fresh spinach, golden garlic, and a pinch of red pepper, ready in 10 minutes. This easy sauteed garlic spinach recipe is the side dish you'll make on repeat.
In a large skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add in the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until heated and the garlic is fragrant and light brown. Monitor closely as careful not to burn.
Add in half of the spinach and salt and gently stir until the spinach begins to wilt.
Add in the remaining spinach and continue tossing until only a few slightly raw spinach leaves remain.
Transfer the garlic spinach to a plate to serve and carefully drain the remaining oil in the pan.
Serve warm and store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container up to 3 days.
