The cooking time for collard greens will depend on the recipe you're using and how tender you want the greens to be. However, a general rule of thumb is to boil collard greens for 20-30 minutes until they are tender.
To cook collard greens, you'll need to start by cleaning the leaves thoroughly and removing any tough stems. Then, chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large pot of boiling water. Add any seasoning or other ingredients that your recipe calls for, such as ham hocks or bacon, onions, garlic, or vinegar.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the collard greens for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and cooked through. You can test for tenderness by piercing a piece of collard green with a fork; it should be soft and easily pierced.
Once the collard greens are cooked to your liking, drain them and serve them as a side dish or incorporate them into your favorite recipes.
