Tips & Tricks
Add some garlic powder and black pepper to the mixture before placing into the oven to give the dish more flavor.
The lemon juice is optional and not only does it add flavor, it helps facilitate the absorption of iron from the spinach.
You can accompany this dish with crackers, toast, or a vegetable crudité.
