Sauteed Spinach and Corn

This sauteed spinach and corn is a yummy side dish that takes less than 15 minutes to make. This is vegan and gluten-free as well.

Spinach is a great leafy vegetable with tons of health benefits. Adding corn to the spinach makes it a yummy side dish to any of the meals. It's a great combination, too. Try my spinach corn sandwich that is too delicious.

This is another easy recipe that is healthy because of the superfood Spinach. If you love spinach, check out my collection of 40+ vegan spinach recipes on the blog. Those who follow keto may avoid corn, but this doesn't contain a large quantity, and as keto allows a maximum of 20 -50 gms carbs, this is below the amount recommended.

This sauteed spinach corn is a variation of my earlier sauteed garlic spinach, a keto-friendly recipe. Preparation of the recipe takes 5 minutes, and cooking takes 5 minutes, so this is a quick side dish.
