Blistered Green Beans
Indulge in these stunning green beans: perfectly blistered to a glistening finish, they offer a delightful balance of salty umami and a hint of char. Their tender-yet-crisp texture is complemented by a burst of garlic and peppery flavours, ensuring each bite is a delicious sensation.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil extra-virgin
- 1 lb green beans washed, trimmed, and patted dry to remove surface moisture
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes crushed
- Kosher salt
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over high until shimmering.
- Add green beans and cook without stirring for about 3 minutes. Beans will start to brown and blister.
- Turn beans with tongs and redistribute so they brown evenly. Continue to cook, turning occasionally, until browned and blistered all over and tender, about 5 minutes longer.
- Season with salt. Add garlic and red pepper flakes. Continue to cook, occasionally tossing occasionally, just until garlic turns golden.
- Transfer beans to a platter. Spoon garlic-pepper flake mixture over beans and some oil too; season with salt.
