Ingredients
- •1 large bunch collard greens, stems removed
- •1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- •3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- •1/2 tsp salt
- •1/4 tsp black pepper
Directions
- 1Stack the collard leaves, roll them tightly into cylinders, and slice crosswise into very thin ribbons.
- 2Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high and cook garlic 30 seconds until fragrant.
- 3Add collard ribbons and salt and toss continuously for 2–3 minutes until wilted but still bright green.

💡 Slice the collards as finely as possible; thin ribbons become tender in minutes and avoid the long braise needed for thicker cuts.
