Fresh Spinach Leaves1 pound 
Olive Oil2 tablespoons 
Garlic (minced)3 cloves 
Salt and Pepperto taste 
A squeeze of Fresh Lemon Juice (for a tangy twist)Optional
Instructions
- 1Rinse the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture.
- 2Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- 3Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- 4Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet. Using tongs or a spatula, gently toss and stir the spinach to coat it evenly with the garlic-infused oil. The spinach will begin to wilt quickly.
- 5Continue cooking the spinach for about 2-3 minutes, or until it has wilted down significantly. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- 6Season the spinach with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the spinach for a tangy flavor.
- 7Once the spinach is wilted and tender, remove the skillet from the heat.
- 8Transfer the Healthy Garlic Spinach to a serving dish and serve it immediately while it's still warm.
- 9Enjoy the Keto Healthy Garlic Spinach as a side dish alongside grilled meats, roasted chicken, or seafood. It's also a great addition to omelets or as a bed for poached eggs.
