1
Prepare the Collard Greens
Wash the collard greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
2
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Set them aside.

3
Sauté the Onions and Garlic
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4
Add Collard Greens
Gradually add the chopped collard greens to the pot, stirring to combine with the onions and garlic. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the greens begin to wilt.
5
Add Liquids
Pour in the vegetable broth and water. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
6
Season the Greens
Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the pot. Stir well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
7
Simmer
Cover the pot and let the collard greens simmer on low heat for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and flavorful.

8
Serve
Once the collard greens are tender, remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish or over rice for a heartier meal.
