Garlicky Runner Beans

Mona Talbott submitted this recipe to Bon Appetit. It's nice and easy and tastes good. :)

¼ cup olive oil

4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

1½ pounds green and/or yellow runner beans, trimmed

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 lemon, halved

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. 

Add beans and red pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Cook, tossing occasionally, until beans are crisp-tender and lightly browned, 8–10 minutes. 

Transfer beans to a platter and squeeze lemon over.
