🔥 Instructions:

1. Prep the Spinach:

   • Rinse spinach thoroughly and drain. If using regular spinach, remove thick stems.

2. Sauté the Garlic:

   • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

   • Add sliced garlic and cook until just golden (about 30–60 seconds). Don’t burn it!

3. Add Spinach:

   • Add spinach in batches, stirring as it wilts. It will shrink a lot!

   • Cook for 2–3 minutes until all spinach is wilted and bright green.

4. Season:

   • Season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.

   • Add a squeeze of lemon juice right before serving for extra brightness.
