      Is it Possible to Make Fresh Spinach in the Air Fryer?

      Yes, you can, but there are a few considerations to consider. So, cooking fresh spinach in your Air Fryer will need something like a lid or aluminum foil, similar to how you cook rice in an Air Fryer.

      Is it Possible to Prepare Air-Fried Lemony Spinach Ahead of Time?

      Yes, Air Fryer spinach can be prepared ahead of time. You can make just one batch at a time or several batches and save them for later.

      Do I Need to Add Water When Cooking Spinach in the Air Fryer?

      When I cook spinach in the Air Fryer, I don’t add any water, just like when cooking it on the stove. The spinach has a lot of water because it was washed before cooking.

      When you cook spinach in an Air Fryer, it wilts due to the high temperature and wet spinach, shrinking in size. So, when frying it in your Air Fryer, you don’t need to add any more water.

      How Can I Store it?

      You can refrigerate it for a couple of days in an airtight storage box. If you want to keep it for a more extended period, freeze it. Fill a freezer-safe food container with the cooled spinach. It should be kept for at least a month.
