My 13yo son will not eat any vegetables. But he loves this garlic bread with all that spinach. I’m so glad I found this recipe and will reduce the amount of butter for olive oil.
This is a great one! Tried it when I first saw it on her show several years ago. Have made it several times. But I remember it with fresh spinach and all the ingredients had a 4 in it and it was put on bread slices like garlic bread. Otherwise basically the same and great. Most people do not want to try it because it is so green, but that is their loss, lol. There are some of us that LOVE IT! Thanks Rachael Ray! My friend Katy just asked me about it and she is making it for St. Patrick’s Day Potluck!
Easy and tasty. The kids ask for them a lot! If I’m out of butter, I use olive oil. Lots of flavor and fun to make.
Cool thing to make in the fall/Halloween. May use a tad bit less butter the next time.
This garlic bread is amazing!! I will definitely be making it again.
Awesome!!! Kids would never know it’s spinach. Great way to add color, flavor & little extra veg. I will make this every time I need to make garlic bread.
What an amazing garlic bread….perfect for our Halloween dinner!!
OH MY GOSH. This is delicious. I thought I was going to make too much of the butter/spinach spread, but it was just enough for a loaf of artisanal bread. I wish I wasn’t so full so I could eat more of it right now!
FANTASTIC idea. My kids loved it and so did everyone else. Great way to get spinach and make garlic bread a little healthier.
I make a ton of this when spinach goes on sale and freeze it. It’s delicious! I also only use about 2 tablespoons of butter and then stream in olive oil to make up for the rest of it. A little bit more heart-healthy and so tasty!!
