Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is golden at the edges and fragrant, about 2–3 minutes. Watch closely — garlic can brown quickly.

Add the drained sardines to the skillet and break them into large chunks with a wooden spoon. Cook undisturbed for 1–2 minutes until lightly crisped on the bottom, then gently turn and cook 1 minute more.
