Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons cracked black pepper
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the fresh spinach. Set aside.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the coconut oil. Allow it to melt and coat the pan.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring frequently. Add more spinach as it wilts down to make room.
Once all the spinach has wilted (about 2-3 minutes), pour in the coconut aminos and stir well to evenly coat the spinach.
Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste. Stir briefly to combine.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the spinach with fresh lemon juice for a bright, zesty finish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or pair it with your favorite protein for a complete Paleo meal.
