A simple and healthy breakfast featuring roasted spinach, garlic, and a perfectly fried egg. Customize with your favorite toppings!
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and thoroughly dry the spinach. If using baby spinach, no need to chop. For larger spinach, roughly chop.
In a large bowl, toss the spinach with olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.
Spread the spinach mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast for 10-12 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and slightly crispy around the edges.
While the spinach is roasting, fry the eggs in a non-stick frying pan with butter or olive oil to your desired doneness.
Divide the roasted spinach between two bowls.
Top each bowl with a fried egg.
Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and a squeeze of lemon juice (if using).
Serve immediately.

Don't overcrowd the baking sheet, or the spinach will steam instead of roast. You may need to roast in batches.
Adjust the roasting time based on your oven and desired crispiness.
Add other vegetables to the roasting pan, such as cherry tomatoes or mushrooms.
Top with other protein options such as crumbled feta cheese, bacon bits, or avocado slices.
