Collard green recipe vegan | A Flavorful Twist on Southern Comfort Food

Ingredients

1. One bundle of collard greens
2. A solitary spoonful of olive oil
3. One onion, chopped
4. three finely chopped cloves of garlic
5. A tsp of paprika with smoke
6. A half-tsp red pepper flakes, or according to taste
7. Add salt and pepper to taste.
8. One cup of vegetable-based broth
9. A single tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
10. A single tablespoon of maple syrup
11. Optional: add flavor with handmade or store-bought vegan bacon bits.

Instructions

1. First, give the collard greens a good rinse in cold water. Remove the tough stems from the leaves and slice them into small pieces.
2. Heat the olive oil in a big saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion and sauté until aromatic and transparent.
3. Add the red pepper flakes and smoked paprika, and let the spices toast for a minute to release their flavors.
4. When the onion and garlic mixture starts to wilt, add the chopped collard greens to the skillet and stir them.
5. After adding the apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and vegetable broth, thoroughly whisk everything together. After bringing the mixture to a simmer, lower the heat to a low setting and cover the pan.
6. Cook until the collard greens are soft and have absorbed the flavors of the broth and seasonings, about 20 to 25 minutes. To avoid sticking, stir occasionally.
7. Add salt and pepper to taste once the collard greens are cooked to the desired softness. Before serving, sprinkle with vegan bacon bits for an additional taste boost.
