Vegan Southern Collard Greens

Step 1

Coat a large deep skillet or pot with vegetable oil.

Step 2

Saute onions until almost tender over medium heat and then add in garlic.

Step 3

Cook until onion and garlic are fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add in vegetable broth.

Step 5

Season broth with smoked salt and red pepper flakes.

Step 6

Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed. Make sure it's to your liking because this is how your greens will taste.

Step 7

Bring to a simmer and reduce heat.

Step 8

Add in the greens. Green will wilt down as they cook.

Step 9

Simmer for 1 hr to 1 hr 30 mins. Do not boil. Add more vegetable broth if needed. May need more or less time so be sure to check them after 30-45 minutes. When done, greens will be dark green, tender and will not have a raw taste.

Step 10

Add in more smoked salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes and hot sauce, if desired. ( I always do!)

Step 11

Enjoy!

Step 12

Add hot sauce or vinegar if desired.
