2. Heat Olive Oil: In a wok or large skillet, heat the lite olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers slightly, indicating it’s hot enough for sautéing.

3. Sauté Garlic: Add the garlic cloves to the heated oil and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic brown.

4. Sauté Swiss Chard: Increase the heat to high, then add the chopped Swiss chard to the skillet. The moisture clinging to the leaves from washing is sufficient for cooking. Sauté the Swiss chard for approximately 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it wilts and begins to soften.

5. Toss and Season: Once the Swiss chard is just wilted and tender, remove the skillet from the heat. Season the sautéed Swiss chard with pepper to taste, giving it a final toss to evenly distribute the seasoning.

6. Serve: Transfer the sautéed Swiss chard to a serving dish and serve immediately as a delicious and nutritious side dish.
