Amber Bondar
A simple baked spinach side dish made with fresh spinach, artichoke hearts, feta cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes, finished with lemon and olive oil. This version skips the usual cream cheese base and keeps the texture light.

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Rinse the spinach under cold water and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
4½ Cups Baby Spinach
Spread the spinach evenly in an 8x8 baking dish. It will look like a lot, but it will cook down.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes over the spinach, including a bit of the oil.
2 Tbsp Sun-dried Tomatoes In Oil
Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly across the dish.
2 Lrg Garlic Cloves
Add the drained and halved artichoke hearts.
1⅔ Cups Canned Artichoke Hearts
Top with feta cheese, spreading it across the surface.
1 Cup Feta Cheese
Bake uncovered for about 25 minutes, until the spinach has wilted and the feta is softened.
Remove from the oven and finish immediately.
Add lemon zest and sprinkle with parsley.
1 Lemon, 3 Tbsp Fresh Flat Leaf Parsley
Pour the lemon juice evenly over the dish and drizzle with olive oil before serving.
¼ Cup Fresh Lemon Juice, 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
Notes
Notes:Use a slotted spoon to lift the spinach from the baking dish onto a serving plate before adding the lemon and parsley. This helps leave behind any excess moisture so the final dish isn’t watery.
