In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.

Cook the Bacon

Add the diced onion to the pot with the bacon drippings and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Sauté Vegetables

Add the chopped collard greens to the pot. Stir to combine, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until they start to wilt.

Add Collard Greens

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, apple cider vinegar, sugar, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Let it braise for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Braised Greens

Once the collard greens are tender, stir in the crispy bacon. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm.
