I made these sauteed green beans as a quick and easy side dish for a college get-together with a few friends. Everybody loved them. Chili pepper flakes add a nice kick and everything is good with garlic.

Add green beans, butter, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper; toss several times to mix with onions and garlic. Cook until beans are heated through and just start to lose their bright green color, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Cook's Note:

You can use frozen beans instead of fresh, but don't use canned beans. If using frozen, you may need to cook them a few minutes longer.

I've made this twice and both times I cooked it longer over medium heat , approximately 20 minutes. I also used shallots rather than red onion - overall, this is our favorite new way of making fresh green beans. We sprinkled on grated parmesan as well - very flexible recipe. Thank you!

Made as written and these turned out really good. They were very spicy but good. I love that the recipe didn't call for over-cooking the beans like most do.

Followed the recipe as is & had it at Christmas. My son, who didn’t like green beans as a child said”dad, if you’d made them like this back then, I’d have liked them!” He’s 43 now.
