How To Make Crispy Fried Spinach

Step 1

Wash and dry your spinach leaves.

Step 2

Remove and stems and shred with a sharp knife. You can see how I did this in the photos above.

Step 3

Heat your oil in a large pan. When a piece of spinach instantly sizzles when added to the oil, you're good to go.

Step 4

Depending on how much you are making, you may need to cook the shredded spinach in batches.

Step 5

As the spinach cooks, it will turn a couple of shades darker. That is a pretty good indication that it is ready.

Step 6

Drain cooked crispy spinach on paper towels. It should crisp right up once out of the oil. Season with a little salt.
