Ingredients
- 8 ounces 250 grams green beans, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, adjust to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 4 minutes, until they are bright green and just tender. Drain and rinse under cold tap water to cool them down. Shake off any excess water and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir constantly for about 30 seconds, watch closely to avoid burning.
- Add the green beans to the skillet and toss everything together for 2 minutes, until the beans are heated through and coated in the garlic-chili oil.
- Season with kosher salt and black pepper, and serve warm.
