Yes!!! I could literally eat a big bowl of these as an entire meal. I’ve been grilling a lot lately and craving fresh vegetables… this is the perfect side dish to just about any main course.

This recipe calls for crushed red pepper flakes… I used 1/4 teaspoon, but if you can take the heat, add more to your liking.

I like these beans crisp-tender so I sautéed them for about 7 minutes. If you like yours more tender, sauté them for an additional couple of minutes.

Enjoy!
