Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat them completely dry with a paper towel.
Using a fork, pierce each sweet potato 5-6 times all over. This allows steam to escape during baking.
Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then use your hands to rub it evenly over the entire surface of each potato. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and black pepper.
Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the skins are slightly crisp and the flesh is completely tender when pierced with a knife. The exact time will depend on the size of your potatoes.
Remove from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Slice open lengthwise, fluff the inside with a fork, and serve hot with your favorite toppings.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the thinly sliced garlic and red chili flakes (if using).
Sauté the garlic for about 30-60 seconds, stirring constantly, until it becomes fragrant and turns a very light golden color. Do not let it brown, as burnt garlic will taste bitter.
Add the thoroughly dried spinach to the skillet. The pan will be very full. If necessary, add the spinach in 2-3 batches, allowing the first batch to wilt down for about 30 seconds before adding the next.
Using tongs, gently toss the spinach to coat it with the garlic-infused oil. Continue to toss until all the spinach has wilted and turned a vibrant green, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking. Squeeze out any excess liquid if you prefer a drier consistency. Season with salt, black pepper, and fresh lemon juice. Toss one last time and serve immediately.
