Directions
Lightly coat an air fryer-safe pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the baby spinach, mustard, apple cider vinegar, and chopped chives.
Toss thoroughly until every leaf is coated in the dressing.
Transfer the seasoned spinach to the prepared pan and place it in your air fryer basket.
Air fry at 350°F / 175°C for 10 minutes, or until the spinach is perfectly wilted and tender.
Carefully remove the pan, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
Dry Your Spinach Well:** If you wash your spinach, use a salad spinner to get it bone-dry. Excess water will steam the leaves and dilute the tangy mustard flavor.
Work in Batches:** A full pound of spinach is a lot! To avoid steaming your greens, cook in two batches if your air fryer is small. This ensures the hot air circulates for perfectly wilted results.
Check Halfway Through:** All air fryers cook differently. Take a peek around the 5-minute mark to ensure your spinach doesn't overcook. You're looking for wilted, not mushy.
