Spicy Green Beans

This is a super easy way to upgrade plain green beans and is a staple in our house. The kids love them as long as I go easy on the red chili pepper flakes.

• 1 lb. frozen whole green beans (sometimes labeled as fancy long or haricot vert)
• 4 cloves of garlic, crushed
• 2-3 tbsp. olive oil
• 1-3 tsp. red chili pepper flakes
• 1 tsp. salt

Toss all ingredients together in a shallow, oven-save dish. Bake at 375F for 25-30 minutes, or until beans are shriveled and slightly caramelized.
