I wasn't low-carbing (never have) but I can attest to deep fried spinach
being delicious!

For sauteed, in a skillet, I lightly brown slivered garlic in a little
olive oil, just until fragrant. Then (carefully!) add washed spinach
leaves. They'll have enough moisture without adding extra liquid. Let
cook down until the spinach is wilted. At this point, season with salt
& pepper. I sometimes grate Parmesan over it.
