Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups fresh spinach
- 2 navel oranges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Wash the spinach thoroughly and pat it dry. Set aside.
Peel the oranges, separate them into segments, and remove any seeds. Cut each segment into small bite-sized pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Add the spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring constantly so that it wilts evenly. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Once the spinach is wilted, season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Remove the skillet from heat and gently fold in the orange pieces, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Transfer the wilted spinach and oranges to a serving dish. Serve warm and enjoy!
