For an even deeper flavor, consider using smoked bacon. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a delightful hint of spice. If the greens seem too acidic, add a touch of brown sugar or maple syrup to balance the flavors. Serve these collard greens as a comforting side dish with your favorite Southern-inspired meals.
