Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic cloves and kosher salt. Spread garlic mixture in a baking pan and roast, stirring occasionally, 15 to 20 minutes until well browned. Set aside.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and drain oil from roasted garlic cloves into skillet. Add an additional 2 teaspoons oil to pan if it seems very dry. Add spinach and saute 3 to 5 minutes over high heat until spinach leaves wilt. Add reserved roasted garlic cloves and mix well with spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
