1
Prepare the Ingredients
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or sand. Drain and set aside. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
2
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
3
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and slightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
4
Add the Spinach
Gradually add the fresh spinach to the skillet, allowing it to wilt down. Use tongs to toss the spinach in the oil and garlic.
5
Season the Spinach
Once the spinach is wilted, season with salt and black pepper. Continue to sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach is fully cooked and tender.
6
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the sautéed spinach. Toss to combine.
7
Serve
Transfer the sautéed spinach to a serving dish and enjoy warm as a side dish or topping.
