Grilling greens in a foil packet gives them great smoky flavor. Water, oil, and a few seasonings add a delicious flavor. After grilling, add a kick to these greens with thinly sliced jalapeño. Collard greens, a popular ingredient in the south, can be found in the produce section of the grocery store, usually near the kale or the Swiss chard.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Uncooked collard greens

2¾ pound(s), 1 large bunch, leaves separated and tough center stems removed

Extra virgin olive oil

1 Tbsp

Garlic clove(s)

2 medium clove(s), finely chopped

Kosher salt

1 tsp

Apple cider vinegar

1 Tbsp

Jalapeño pepper(s)

½ small, seeded and thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Off heat, coat grill rack or grill pan with nonstick spray. Preheat gas grill or grill pan to medium-high, or prepare medium-high fire in charcoal grill.
  2. Arrange collard leaves in small stacks. Roll each stack tightly and thinly slice into ribbons. Arrange sliced collards in center of large piece of foil and drizzle with oil and 1 tbsp water. Sprinkle with garlic and salt and gently toss with your hands. Fold foil over collards and seal packet. (Use a second piece of foil if necessary.)
  3. Transfer packet to grill. Cook, turning packet a few times, until collards are tender (check by unwrapping foil with tongs), 10 to 12 minutes. Unwrap collards and transfer to serving bowl or platter. Drizzle with vinegar and garnish with jalapeño. Serve immediately.
  4. Serving size: 1⁄2 cup
