1 pound slender green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Coarse kosher salt

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my kids. I'll have to tone down the cayenne pepper next time.

These green beans were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover green beans. I always have a few extra beans after making a salad or stir-fry, and this is a perfect way to use them up.
