Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir collard greens, garlic, and red pepper flakes in the hot oil until collard greens are wilted and tender, about 10 minutes.

Cook's Note:

If you want to change the dish around, feel free to use cashews or peanuts in lieu of or addition to the almonds. Butter or olive oil as well work fine for the oil.
