Instant Pot Collard Greens

These collard greens are a fantastic way to enjoy a classic dish with minimal fuss. The Instant Pot does all the heavy lifting, so you can focus on that family bonding time while your delicious meal cooks away!

Ingredients

1 pound collard greens, cleaned and chopped
1 onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice preference)
1 vegetable broth or water
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (optional)

Instructions

Start by setting your Instant Pot to the sauté mode. Add the olive oil, and once it’s hot, toss in the diced onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
Next, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring constantly for about 1 minute until fragrant. You want that garlic goodness to come alive!
Now, it’s time to throw in those chopped collard greens. Stir them well to coat with the flavorful mixture. You’ll notice they will start to wilt down quickly.
Pour in the vegetable broth or water, making sure to scrape any bits off the bottom of the pot. This adds extra flavor and prevents burning.
Season with salt and pepper to your taste. If you like a little zing, add the apple cider vinegar now.
Put the lid on your Instant Pot, making sure the vent is closed. Set it to cook on high pressure for 15 minutes.
Once the timer goes off, allow for a natural release for about 10 minutes before switching to a quick release to let out any remaining steam.
Carefully remove the lid, give those greens a good stir, and taste for seasoning. Adjust if necessary.
Serve these delicious Instant Pot Collard Greens warm, and watch as they disappear from the table!

These collard greens are perfect on their own or as a delicious side to any meal. So get your apron on, and let’s get to cooking!
