Lemon Sesame Glazed Greens

1 to 1¼ lbs. stemmed hearty greens, mustard greens, or kale
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, zested
2 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 Tbsp. honey
1½ tsp. kosher salt
¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
½ tsp. red pepper flakes
1 Tbsp. sesame seeds

Remove any large stems from greens & wash thoroughly; do so in a sink with at least 5” water. Move the leaves around in the water & let sit for a few minutes to allow the sand or dirt to fall to the bottom of the sink. Once clean, roughly chop the greens. You should have 1 to 1¼ lbs. finished greens once they are stemmed. (Weigh the greens after stemming, but before washing). Heat 13”x 11” roasting pan set over 2 burners on med. heat. Once hot, add olive oil. Add garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, salt, & pepper. Stir to combine. Add greens and sauté for 4 to 5 mins, tossing continually. Add red pepper flakes & sesame seeds. Toss to combine. Adjust seasoning, if needed. Serve immediately.
