Creamed Spinach

This zesty creamed spinach might not be your traditional take on this recipe, but it’s one I’ve made for years and have adapted for the air fryer.

1 tbsp salted butter

2 garlic cloves, minced

¼ tsp sea salt, plus more

¼ tsp ground black pepper, plus more

½ cup heavy whipping cream

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp Dijon mustard

3 cups fresh organic spinach, washed, divided

1. Set the air fryer temp to 360°F (180°C).

2. Place the butter, garlic, salt, and pepper on a rimmed baking pan. Place the pan in the fryer basket and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the fryer basket.

3. Add the whipping cream, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Mix well.

4. Place 1 cup of spinach on the pan and mix, covering with as much of the cream mixture as possible. Return the pan to the fryer basket and cook until the spinach has begun to wilt, about 3 minutes more. Repeat this step with the remaining spinach until all the spinach has been added. Cook until the spinach has cooked and the cream has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes more.

5. Remove the pan from the fryer basket and transfer the creamed spinach to a serving bowl. Top with more salt and pepper (if using) before serving.
