Can I use other greens instead of kale?

Absolutely, Swiss chard or collards work great - just adjust cooking time since they're sturdier. Baby spinach wilts too fast though, so I'd skip it for this method.

Why isn't my cabbage getting crispy?

Two reasons usually: either your pan wasn't hot enough (crank that heat) or you stirred too much. Let those greens sit undisturbed to develop those perfect blistered edges.

How do I keep leftovers from getting soggy?

Store them uncovered in the fridge for the first 30 minutes to let steam escape, then cover. When reheating, use a dry skillet instead of the microwave - it brings back the crispiness. Understanding why crispy foods get soggy can help.

Can I make this oil-free?

You can try broth sautéing, but honestly, the olive oil helps create that perfect blister and carries the garlic flavor. I'd use at least a little for best results. For more on the health benefits of olive oil, check out reputable dietary guidelines like those from the World Health Organization.
