Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 thinly sliced green onions
Instructions
Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the spinach leaves to the skillet. Toss the leaves quickly to coat them in the garlic-infused oil.
Cook the spinach for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously, until wilted and bright green.
Add the low-sodium soy sauce, fresh lemon juice, and ground black pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Remove the skillet from the heat once the spinach is fully wilted and tender.
Transfer the garlic spinach stir-fry to a serving dish.
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and green onions before serving.
Serve immediately while hot, enjoy as a side dish or top with your choice of protein for a complete meal.
