1
Prepare the Collard Greens
Wash the collard greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
2
Sauté Garlic
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, making sure not to burn it.
3
Cook the Greens
Add the chopped collard greens to the pot, followed by the vegetable broth and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.
4
Simmer
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the greens are tender.
5
Season and Serve
Once the greens are tender, season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir well and serve hot.
