4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
½ tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for 2 minutes, until bright green and just barely tender. Drain in a colander and shake off as much water as possible — dry beans will sear rather than steam.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the green beans in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, for 2 minutes, until lightly blistered on the underside.
