1
Wash and Prepare Collard Greens
Rinse the collard greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Remove the tough stems from the leaves and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
2
Chop Aromatics
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

3
Sauté Aromatics
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
4
Add Collard Greens and Broth
Add the chopped collard greens to the pot and stir to combine with the aromatics. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
5
Season and Cook
Add the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the collard greens simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender.

6
Serve Warm
Once the collard greens are tender, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm as a side dish.
