1
Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering.
2
Add the green beans to the skillet, making sure they are dry to minimize spattering, and cook for about 3 minutes, allowing them to brown underneath without stirring. Cover the skillet if needed to reduce spattering.
3
Use tongs to turn the green beans and redistribute them evenly in the skillet. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the green beans are browned all over and tender.
4
Season the green beans with 1 tsp of kosher salt.
5
Add the sliced garlic, chopped capers, and crushed red pepper flakes to the skillet.
6
Cook for 1 minute, tossing occasionally until the garlic turns golden.
7
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the beans to a platter.
8
Drizzle the caper-garlic mixture and some of the remaining oil over the green beans and serve.
