Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a shallow pan and sauté sliced onions until soft and starting to brown nicely (about 8-10 minutes).

Place half of the cooked onions in the bottom of a baking pan.

Top with a layer of the sliced potatoes, then a layer of the baby spinach.

Finish with a layer of the remaining onions.

Pour the orange marinade over everything and bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes, stirring once halfway through to make sure the top stays moist.
