Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the olive oil and butter to the skillet, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the frozen corn or green beans directly to the skillet. Stir well to coat them in the butter and garlic mixture.
Season the vegetables with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir to combine.
Cook the vegetables for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and any excess moisture has evaporated.
Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice for a bright pop of flavor.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately while hot.
