Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat a large pan over high heat. When it's hot, add the oil and green beans. Cook the green beans, tossing occasionally, until soft and starting to blister and turn black in a few spots, about 5 minutes.1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 lb green beans
- Add the garlic to the pan and cook the beans for 1 minute more. Remove the pan from the heat and toss with the sea salt.3 cloves garlic, ½ teaspoon sea salt
Notes
Safety tip: If you've just washed your beans, make sure that they are dry before putting them into the super hot pan. Water and hot oil do not mix well and can cause dangerous splatters.
Can I use frozen green beans? It's very hard to dry frozen green beans well enough to make them safe to cook over high heat. If you want to use green beans that you have in your freezer, cook them in a skillet over medium-high and cook them from frozen for about 8-10 minutes. Frozen green beans will have a softer texture and won't develop the tasty dark bits.
