Collard greens can get a bad wrap, since somehow these healthy nutritious greens can become sinfully delicious. My better half isn't much into these greens, healthy or not healthy. But I will put them on his plate and he does eat them... just not with a smile on his face. Tonight's concoction resulted in eating his plate clean without a scowl on his face, so I'll take it as a win. Personally, I love collard greens and tonight's recipe was just the right about of sweet without adding everything from grandma's baking cupboard.
Ingredients:
- 3-4 slices Turkey Bacon, diced/chopped
- 1 bundle of fresh collard greens, rinsed & chopped
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- 2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
Directions:
- Place a deep skillet over medium-high heat
- Spray skillet with cooking spray or EVOO
- Once skillet is warm, add in turkey bacon. Cook for about 5 minutes until it starts to get crispy.
- Add in collard greens and lower temperature. Allow collard greens to begin to wilt.
- Mix honey, vinegar, & brown sugar in a small bowl. Toss into greens.
- Reduce heat to low and cover skillet. Let collard greens tenderize, color will change from dark green to a lighter green. Keep covered for about 20 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy
