This Keto Creamed Spinach is one of my favorite ways to eat this leafy green. I especially like that I can use frozen spinach for this incredibly easy and delicious recipe.

It’s easier to eat vegetables when you find flavorful recipes, like Keto Creamed Spinach , to remind you there’s more than one way to prepare it.
I was sold on the fact that the air fryer could do anything, including turning veggies into one of my favorite side dishes and doing it perfectly.
Did you ever think you would make Creamed Spinach in the Air Fryer ? I honestly didn’t know I would either until I tried it then I was sold.
Why Use Frozen Spinach For This Recipe?
Not only is frozen spinach more convenient, it’s also easier to make since the spinach is already sort of pressed down. A lot better than trying to cram a large package of fresh spinach into a small container.
I kind of feel sorry for spinach, it gets a bad rap. It’s one of my favorite ingredients though because it pairs so well in so many ways.
What Do You Need To Make This Keto Creamed Spinach Recipe?
The list of ingredients for this recipe is incredibly short, but don’t let that fool you. It is still absolutely packed with flavor. Chances are you even have most (if not all) of these ingredients in your kitchen already.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Frozen Spinach, thawed
- Onions
- Minced Garlic
- Cream Cheese
- Ground Black Pepper
- Kosher Salt
- Ground Nutmeg
- shredded Parmesan cheese
How To Make Keto Creamed Spinach
This recipe is so easy, it may just be your new go-to low-carb side dish.
This is how I made it:
- Grease a 6 inch pan .
- In a medium bowl, combine spinach, onion, garlic, cream cheese dices, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour into greased pan.
- Air fry for 10 minutes. Mix thoroughly.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top. Air fry until the cheese has melted and browned.
How Long Does It Last?
For best results, try to eat any leftovers you may have within 3-4 days after making this recipe. It will remain safe to eat after that amount of time, but to avoid separation between the spinach and the dairy in this recipe, it’s better consumed sooner than later.
What Do You Serve With It?
The better question may be “what can’t you serve with it?” This is such a versatile recipe it works well as a side dish for nearly any main course.
Here are some of my favorite things to pair with Keto Creamed Spinach :
- Chicken Cordon Bleu
- Air Fried Chicken Legs
- Tandoori Chicken
More Air Fryer Side Dish Recipes
- Sesame Ginger Broccoli
- Roasted Pearl Onions
- Roasted Ratatouille
- Radishes O’Brien
- Cheese Biscuits
The air fryer doesn’t just “fry” food, it’s much more than that. If you don’t have one yet, you’ll want to get one in order to truly know and grasp what I’m talking about.
Dishes like this Creamed Spinach will never be the same and you’ll never want to go back. I know I haven’t and won’t.

This Chicken Tortilla Soup is extremely delicious and addicting. It’s super easy to dump and cook, and the Instant Pot Blender makes it simple!
You Made This Chicken Tortilla Soup In A Blender?
Everyone likes to prepare their soup differently. For me, I like my Chicken Tortilla Soup to remain a little chunky. However, if you like your soup to be more smooth and less chunky, you can use the puree function on the Instant Pot Blender.
The puree function has quickly become one of my favorite features of the Instant Pot Blender . It makes it super easy to skip messes and effort by one press of a button. Your soup ends up the perfect consistency and you didn’t have to do much at all.
So guys? This soup?
Is the real deal. It’s a very authentic tasting Chicken Tortilla Soup . I know you’re going to think it’s too simple a recipe to be worth anything–but #trustUrvashi. This is simple, full-bodied and yummy. Try it!
Is The Instant Pot Blender Worth Getting?
If you’re still on the fence about this blender, watch my Ace Blender video on youtube , or in the box to the right of your screen on this post.
How Do I Make This Chicken Tortilla Soup?
- Blend the onions, tomatoes, garlic and chili on blend low for 5 seconds.
- Add water and corn and set the blender to soup setting 1.
- When the soup is finished cooking, add chicken and corn tortillas (if using) and pulse once for 2-3 seconds.
- Stir in cheese and cilantro and serve.
What If I Don’t Have An Instant Pot Blender?
Well, then, you’re can just make this Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup instead. But I will say, as I did in my review, I do love my Instant Pot Blender . And I say this as someone who has and loves her Vitamix .
We eat a LOT more veggies since we got this blender. Or more appropriately, drinking them. It’s hard to NOT make a good soup in this blender. I throw random things in, and it turns it all into a great soup.
How Spicy Is This Chicken Tortilla Soup?
In the recipe, you will note the ingredient for one canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce. This is literally just one chili, not one can of chilis. If you use the whole can, you will breathe fire like a dragon.
