1
Prepare the collard greens
Rinse the collard greens under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Remove the tough stems by cutting along both sides of the stem with a sharp knife and discarding them. Stack the leaves, roll them up tightly, and slice into 1-inch strips.

2
Cook the collards
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the collard greens to the pot and stir to coat them in the oil and garlic.
3
Add liquid and seasonings
Pour in the water or vegetable broth and apple cider vinegar. Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.
4
Simmer
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the collards are tender and flavorful.
