this is my favorite way to eat spinach, with garlic chips! it is so darn good. i absolutely adore garlic. i like to use it in just about everything. there is something so good about the soft texture of the spinach with the crunchiness of the garlic. to make garlic chips you need to heat the olive oil and the garlic slices up at the same time. this keeps the garlic from burning (which is always so easy to do). as the olive oil heats up, it slowly browns the garlic. keep an eye on it though, it happens quickly. i also like to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the oil for a little kick. it's amazing how much raw spinach you need to make such a small batch of sauteed spinach. this portion here is from a 10oz. box. i couldn't even imagine eating all of that, but when you sautee it and it shrinks down to nothing, it's possible (trust me, i did it). spinach is unbelievably good for you, it is rich in antioxidants and high in iron, just to name a few benefits. next time you are in the produce section of your market, pick up some spinach and make it with garlic chips...you'll thank me.
