For best results, use very fresh, dry spinach. Do not overcrowd the fryer, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy spinach. Adjust the frying time based on the thickness of the spinach leaves. Experiment with other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or a sprinkle of chili flakes for a spicy kick.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Pour peanut oil into a deep-fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot. Heat the oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature. (5-10 minutes)
02
Step
1 mins
While the oil heats, ensure the spinach is completely dry. Excess moisture will cause the oil to splatter. (2 minutes)
03
Step
30 mins
Working in small batches to avoid overcrowding, gently place a handful of spinach into the hot oil. Use a fryer basket or slotted spoon to submerge the spinach. (1 minute per batch)
04
Step
1 mins
Fry for approximately 30 seconds, or until the spinach turns a vibrant green and becomes crispy. Watch carefully, as it can burn quickly. (30 seconds per batch)
05
Step
1 mins
Immediately remove the fried spinach and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. (1 minute per batch)
06
StepSeason generously with sea salt flakes and a pinch of freshly cracked black pepper, if desired. (1 minute)
