1
Prepare the Collard Greens
Wash the collard greens thoroughly under running water. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

Sauté 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 minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
3
Cook the Greens
Add the collard greens to the pot and stir to combine with the onions and garlic. Pour in the vegetable broth and sprinkle in red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.
4
Simmer
Cover the pot and let the collard greens simmer for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and flavorful.
5
Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot as a side dish.
