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

Healthy deliciousness right here! 

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!
