Steps:
- In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil. Have ready a large bowl of ice water. Place broccoli into pot and cook for 2 minutes. You just want to parboil the broccoli at this point since you will saute it later on. Using a spider strainer, remove broccoli from pot and shock it in a bowl of ice water. When broccoli is completely cool, place it in a colander and allow to drain. Refresh the bowl of ice water. Bring the water back to a boil. Add green beans and cook for 4 minutes. Like the broccoli, you just want to parboil the green beans. Remove green beans from pot with spider strainer and add to ice water. When green beans are completely cool, add them to the colander and allow to drain.
- In a large saute pan, heat olive oil. When almost smoking, add the garlic and saute for about 45 seconds. When the garlic starts to brown, remove immediately and discard. Overcooking the garlic will impart a very bitter taste to the dish. Add the red pepper flakes, broccoli and green beans to the pan and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest vegetables: Look for broccoli and green beans that are bright green and crisp. Avoid any vegetables that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Trim the vegetables properly: For broccoli, cut off the tough ends of the stalks and break the florets into bite-sized pieces. For green beans, trim the ends and remove any strings.
- Toss the vegetables with olive oil and seasonings: This will help them roast evenly and develop a delicious flavor. You can use any seasonings you like, but garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper are always a good choice.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy and caramelized. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
- Roast the vegetables until they are tender-crisp: This will take about 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the vegetables. You can check for doneness by piercing the vegetables with a fork. They should be tender, but still have a slight crunch.
- Serve the vegetables immediately: Roasted broccoli and green beans are best served hot, so enjoy them right away!
