Ingredients

• Kosher salt
• 1 1/2 lbs. thin green beans, trimmed
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 sprig oregano, plus 1 1/2 tsp finely chopped oregano leaves
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, plus more for topping
• Flaky salt, for topping

Directions

1. 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.

2. 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 tsp 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.
