1
Prepare the Collard Greens
Rinse the collard greens under cold water to remove any dirt. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
2
Chop the Onion and Garlic
Peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

3
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
4
Cook the Collard Greens
Add the chopped collard greens to the pot and stir to combine with the onions and garlic. Pour in the vegetable broth and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer.
5
Simmer
Cover the pot and let the collard greens simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender.
6
Finish with Vinegar
Once the collard greens are tender, stir in the apple cider vinegar. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
