Collard Greens are a Southern American side dish made by slow-simmering large, dark-green collard leaves with onions, garlic, and seasonings, often cooked with smoked meats like ham hocks, bacon, or turkey necks to add depth and saltiness. With roots in West African and Southern plantation cooking, they’ve become a staple in soul food, especially across Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama. The flavorful potlikker (the broth left behind) is often sopped up with cornbread.

Common variations include vegetarian collards with smoked paprika or spicy versions with chili flakes and vinegar.
