Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.


Thaw frozen spinach Ring out as much water as possible.


Heat large skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat.


Add in diced onions and cook for 7 minutes or until the onions soften and the edges begin to caramelize.


Lower heat to medium and add in sliced mushrooms, spinach, salt, garlic powder and cumin powder. Cook for about 8 more minutes, until mixture has cooked down.
