Combine Ingredients
Place the fresh spinach in a large microwave-safe bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the spinach and scatter the minced garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes evenly on top.
Microwave and Stir
Cover the bowl loosely with a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Remove and stir the spinach, then microwave for another 30 to 60 seconds until completely wilted.
Drain and Serve
Use a spoon to press the spinach against the side of the bowl and drain any excess liquid. Taste, adjust the salt if needed, and serve immediately as a warm side dish.
