Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb frozen French green beans
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic sliced thin
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • pinch salt to taste
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice optional

Instructions
 

  • Place the frozen green beans in a colander and run them under water for a minute to partially thaw them.
  • Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Place a tablespoon of oil into the pan. Add the green beans. Cook until tender and cooked through.
  • Remove the green beans from the pan and transfer them to a medium-sized bowl. Cover the bowl with foil to keep the beans warm. 
  • Place the remaining oil into the skillet. Add the garlic and cook until golden brown. Keep a close eye so that the garlic does not burn. Add the chili flakes and cook for 30 seconds more. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Pour the garlic olive oil over the green beans and toss to coat - season with a pinch of salt to taste. Add lemon juice, if using, and ¼ of the Parmesan cheese. Place onto the desired serving dish and garnish with the remaining Parmesan. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • STORE: While best served immediately after cooking, transfer cooled leftover beans to an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • FREEZE: Place cooked green beans on a sheet tray and place the tray in the freezer. Once the green beans have frozen, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer-safe zip-top bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw the green beans in the refrigerator before eating.
  • REHEAT: Reheat garlic green beans in the microwave for 30 seconds to one minute. Or, reheat the beans in a skillet with a small amount of olive oil. Cook over medium-low heat until heated through.
