- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)

Directions
Step 1
Rinse the green beans under cold water and trim the ends. Cut them into 2-inch pieces, if desired.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the green beans, cover, and steam for 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is shimmering.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the steamed green beans and sweet corn kernels to the skillet. Toss to coat the vegetables in the butter and oil mixture.
Step 6
Season the vegetables with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir well to combine.
Step 7
Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender and the corn is heated through.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the vegetables.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish, and enjoy!
