This Keto Creamed Spinach is one of my favorite ways to eat this leafy green. I especially like that I can use frozen spinach for this incredibly easy and delicious recipe.

It's easier to eat vegetables when you find flavorful recipes, like Keto Creamed Spinach, to remind you there's more than one way to prepare it.

I was sold on the fact that the air fryer could do anything, including turning veggies into one of my favorite side dishes and doing it perfectly.

Did you ever think you would make Creamed Spinach in the Air Fryer? I honestly didn't know I would either until I tried it then I was sold.

Why Use Frozen Spinach For This Recipe?

Not only is frozen spinach more convenient, it's also easier to make since the spinach is already sort of pressed down. A lot better than trying to cram a large package of fresh spinach into a small container.

I kind of feel sorry for spinach, it gets a bad rap. It's one of my favorite ingredients though because it pairs so well in so many ways.

What Do You Need To Make This Keto Creamed Spinach Recipe?

The list of ingredients for this recipe is incredibly short, but don't let that fool you. It is still absolutely packed with flavor. Chances are you even have most (if not all) of these ingredients in your kitchen already.

Here's what you'll need:

• Frozen Spinach,thawed
• Onions
• Minced Garlic
• Cream Cheese
• Ground Black Pepper
• Kosher Salt
• Ground Nutmeg
• shredded Parmesan cheese

How To Make Keto Creamed Spinach

This recipe is so easy, it may just be your new go-to low-carb side dish.

This is how I made it:

1. Grease a 6 inch pan.
2. In a medium bowl, combine spinach, onion, garlic, cream cheese dices, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour into greased pan.
3. Air fry for 10 minutes. Mix thoroughly.
4. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top. Air fry until the cheese has melted and browned.

How Long Does It Last?

For best results, try to eat any leftovers you may have within 3-4 days after making this recipe. It will remain safe to eat after that amount of time, but to avoid separation between the spinach and the dairy in this recipe, it's better consumed sooner than later.

What Do You Serve With It?

The better question may be "what can't you serve with it?" This is such a versatile recipe it works well as a side dish for nearly any main course.

Here are some of my favorite things to pair with Keto Creamed Spinach:

• Chicken Cordon Bleu
• Air Fried Chicken Legs
• Tandoori Chicken
