Asian Green Beans Recipe

Sweet and spicy green beans make the best side dish. They are so flavorful and so easy to make!

📝 Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
• 1 Tbsp. kosher salt, plus more to taste
• 2 Tbsp. avocado oil
• 4-5 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 tsp. red chili flakes
• 2 tsp. soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp. honey

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a large stock pot, bring 4 quarts water and 1 tablespoon salt to boil. Add beans to the boiling water and cook until the green beans are bright green and crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately remove to a clean bowl with a pair of tongs while letting excess water drip back into the pot.
2. 2Combine the garlic, red chili flakes, soy sauce, and honey in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. 3In a large non-stick skillet or sauté pan, heat avocado oil over medium heat. Add green beans and cook until charred and tender, about 4-5 minutes, while tossing frequently.
4. 4Add the garlic mixture to the green beans and cook for about 30 seconds or until fragrant, while tossing the green beans non-stop. Make sure not to burn the garlic. Taste and season with salt as needed before serving.
