Keto Sauteed Spinach Recipe – How to make the best easy low carb friendly garlic side dish recipes with simple ingredients – with the video tutorial.
Keto Spinach Recipe
This keto sauteed spinach recipe makes a quick and easy, tasty low carb friendly side dish to enjoy with any meal, especially on a busy weeknight.
You could also use any leafy greens you like or frozen spinach, which is budget friendly all year around. It may just need an extra minute or two to cook and allow for any extra liquid to evaporate.
Here are some ideas for keto diet friendly toppings and seasonings in addition to the main ingredients:
- Salt & Black Pepper
- Parmesan Cheese or Mozzarella Cheese
- Italian seasoning, Basil or Oregano
- Lemon Zest or Lemon Juice
- Nuts – pine nuts, almonds, walnuts
I’ve used fresh garlic cloves that I crushed with a garlic press, but you could use garlic powder or already minced garlic if you like instead. Use as much as you like depending on how garlicky you’d like your sauteed spinach to be.
The cooked spinach can be enjoyed as a side with fried eggs for breakfast, or for dinner with a meaty roast meal or mixed with dairy products such as heavy cream, heavy whipping cream, mascarpone, sour cream or cream cheese to make an easy creamed spinach recipe to serve with any meal or zucchini noodles.
The easy recipe I’ve shared is for a smallish 100g/3.5 ounce carton of spinach. You could make enough to feed a crowd by using a large bag (or two) of spinach and as much garlic as you’d like.
You’ll see that the easy side dish recipe is super quick to prepare and is a flavorful, garlic infused low-carb keto plate full of creamy spinach that’s made with only a few basic ingredients.
