How to Prepare Caribbean Coconut Collards and Sweet Potatoes [Vegan]

Melt the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and crushed red pepper. Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, then stir in the collards and sweet potato. Add the beans, tomatoes with their juice, water, and coconut milk.
Bring just to a boil, lower the heat to medium-low, and cook, covered, until the collards and sweet potato are tender, about 30 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Notes

- Don’t waste the good stuff. Refill the tomato can, which holds about 1 1/2 cups, and use that to measure the water needed for the recipe.
