Spicy Garlic Green Beans
- Author: Hilah Johnson
- Cook Time: 10 mins
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: 4-6 1x
- 1/2 pound fresh green beans
- 2 teaspoons oil
- 2 large cloves garlic
- 3–4 green onions, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Optional: 1 serrano chile, thinly sliced
- Get out your skillet and put about 1/2 inch of water in it, cover it, and bring to boil. While that works, pop the ends from the green beans (and cut into shorter lengths if you like).
- Prep the garlic: mince one clove and peel and thinly slice the other. Chop up the green onions and serrano, if using.
- Drop the beans into the boiling water in the skillet. Cover and set a timer for 1 minute. Drain in a colander.
- Return the skillet to the stove and add half the oil over medium heat. Add sliced garlic and fry, turning, for about 45-60 seconds until golden. Remove from the oil.
- Add remaining oil over med-high heat and add green beans. Stir and sear for about 2 minutes until beginning to blister.
- Add green onion, minced garlic (and serrano) and cook another 30 seconds. Sprinkle with salt.
- Serve with fried garlic chips on top
