Instructions

- Stir in the turmeric and cumin powder, allowing the spices to meld with the vegetables for about a minute.

Helpful Tips
- For a boost of flavor, add a teaspoon of nutritional yeast.
- If you prefer, substitute spinach with kale or Swiss chard.

Storage Instructions
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
