Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 25kcal
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 3 bunches collard greens about 1½ to 2 lbs worth
- 1½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes or less
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- First, prepare your collard greens by washing them well and removing the stems. Roughly chop the leaves and set aside.
- Next, add the olive oil and chopped onions to your Instant Pot and set it to sauté. Cook for 5 minutes with the lid off.
- Press "cancel" to stop the sautéing. Add in some of the vegetable broth to deglaze the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
- Add in the collard greens and all the remaining ingredients and stir well. Set the Instant Pot to high and cook for 10 minutes.
- When done, either use the quick release feature or let it vent naturally. Remove the lid, stir, plate and enjoy.
- Store any leftover collard greens in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Equipment
- Instant Pot
- Cutting board
Notes
- For best texture, use the collard greens leaves only and not the stems as they take much longer to soften.
- Deglazing the pot with a little vegetable broth is important so the Instant Pot doesn't send signals that the bottom of the pot is burning.
- These greens are tangy! Feel free to scale back on the vinegar and/or pepper if you want them to be more mild.
