Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a bowl, combine cashews with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Spread the cashews in a single layer on a baking sheet. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Toast in the preheated oven, shaking occasionally, until golden brown and fragrant, approximately 5-10 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning. Set aside. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. (7 minutes)

05

Step

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Incorporate the chopped kale into the skillet with the onion and garlic mixture. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale begins to soften, about 7 minutes. (9 minutes)

07

Step

Add the chopped spinach, sea salt, and white pepper to the skillet. Continue cooking until the spinach wilts, about 3 minutes. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Gently toss the toasted cashews with the kale and spinach mixture. Serve immediately and enjoy! (2 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using browned butter instead of olive oil.
Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end to brighten the flavors.
If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic.
To make it vegan, substitute the butter with 2 tbsp of olive oil or plant-based butter.
