Ingredients
  

Ingredients

  • 1 pound green beans trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 4 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions
 

Directions

  • Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  • Add the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  • Add the green beans, kosher salt, and pepper and stir to coat, about 1 minute.
  • Add the water and cover. Cook until the beans are bright green and crisp-tender, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the water evaporates and the beans blister in spots, 2 to 3 minutes more.

Notes

I prefer slicing beans at an angle for even blistering.
Store cooled beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat at 300°F for 5–7 minutes.
