Keto Creamy Garlic Frozen Spinach
This quick and easy Keto recipe is a great way to jazz up frozen spinach. Our simple low carb side is prepared with frozen chopped spinach, a hearty helping of butter, aromatic garlic, sweet white onion, a hint of lemon zest, tangy parmesan cheese, and sour cream. This makes a great side to accompany your preferred Keto mains.
What Kind of Spinach Do I Need?
We have used chopped frozen spinach for this easy Keto side dish. The spinach needs to be thawed prior to cooking. Once the spinach has thawed, you need to squeeze out any excess liquid, then use as directed in the recipe. You may also use fresh spinach if desired. You will need roughly 2lbs of fresh spinach to give you the same quantity in volume as you get from the frozen spinach. If using fresh spinach, remove any tough stems and add to the saucepan a handful at a time, allowing the spinach to wilt before adding the next batch. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the recipe.
Serving Suggestions
Our creamy spinach makes a great low carb side to your Keto mains. This simple dish is perfect served with grilled white fish, chicken or pork. It also makes a great addition to Sunday lunch, served with a whole roast chicken or ham.
