6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
2 pounds green beans, trimmed and halved
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Pulse the bread in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
