Instant Pot Collard Greens

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Author Brooke Burks

Ingredients

  • 1 to 2 large bunches of collard greens
  • 1 to 2 smoked ham hocks
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons garlic minced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1.5 cups vegetable broth
  • red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Wash your collards at least 2 times to make sure you get all of the sand off.

    Rinse them and tear them off the stem and soak the torn pieces again and rinse and drain.
    1 to 2 large bunches of collard greens
  • In a 6qt or larger Instant Pot, place your onions, garlic, ham hock, red pepper flakes,

    salt, pepper and broth. Place the torn and washed collard greens on top. I usually have

    to pack mine in pretty good. It’s important to note here that I can usually only get 1 bunch

    of collards in my 6 qt IP. If you have a larger Ultra or 8 qt, you may need more.
    1 to 2 smoked ham hocks, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 tablespoons garlic, salt and pepper, red pepper flakes, 1.5 cups vegetable broth
  • Seal the lid, close the vent and set the Instant Pot to manual or pressure cook for 30 minutes.

    When the cook time is up, allow to NPR (natural pressure release) for about 10 minutes.
  • Carefully open the vent to release any remaining pressure and remove the lid. Remove the ham hock and discard or shred meat off bone and add back to pot. Add in the apple cider vinegar and stir well.
    1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
