Step 1

Separate the stems from the collard green leaves. Dice the stems, and cut the leaves into thick ribbons.

Step 2

Turn the Instant Pot on "Saute" and heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the onion and diced collard green stems and saute until tender, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 3

Add the garlic, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Turn the Instant Pot off, and stir in the apple cider vinegar, water, maple syrup and salt. Stuff in the collard green leaves.

Step 5

Lock the lid, and set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 20 minutes.

Step 6

When the timer goes off, quick release the pressure and carefully open the lid. Season the greens with more salt to taste and enjoy.
