Steamed Spinach
Report
Mastering Steamed Spinach is quick and easy, and it helps remove excess water from the leaves. Add it to egg dishes, dips, smoothies, anywhere else you want a leafy, nutritious infusion.

Ingredients
- 16 ounces fresh spinach (see note 2)
Instructions
- In a medium or large saucepan, add 1 inch of water. Add steamer basket (with feet extended) and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Add spinach to steamer basket.
- Reduce heat to medium, cover, and steam for 3 to 4 minutes (or until desired doneness is reached). Do not overcook.

Notes
- Steamer basket: This OXO stainless steel steamer basket is simple, but it gets the job done, and it’s been my go-to for years. See more options in The Best Steamer Baskets.
- Spinach leaves: I buy bags of pre-washed whole spinach or baby spinach leaves. If buying in bunches, thoroughly wash the fresh leaves in cold water to remove dirt and sand just before using. Use a salad spinner to quickly dry. Large stems will soften while steaming but feel free to remove any large ones if you feel they will take away from your final dish.
- Yield: 1 pound raw spinach leaves yields about 2 cups of steamed spinach, enough for 4 servings, 1/2 cup each.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
