Ingredients
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds thin green beans or haricots verts, trimmed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 sprig oregano, plus 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped oregano leaves
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, plus more for topping
Flaky salt, for topping
Directions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes; drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water. Let cool, then drain.
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the oregano sprig and red pepper flakes. Cook, swirling the pot, until the butter is browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the green beans and 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Continue to cook, tossing, until the green beans are glazed, 2 to 3 minutes. Discard the oregano sprig, then add the oregano leaves to the pot and toss. Top with flaky salt and more red pepper flakes.
