In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced garlic and sauté until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Prepare the garlic

Add the fresh spinach and arugula to the skillet with the crispy garlic. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the greens are wilted.

Sauté the greens

Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all flavors.

Season the dish

Transfer the sautéed spinach and arugula to a serving dish and enjoy warm as a side dish.
