Heres how to do the charred green bean trick at home.
I recommend cast iron because it can take the heat and wont buckle or scorch.

A hot pan and a smash with a pot lid adds tons of flavor and excellent texture.
Its not always necessary, though, if your entree has lots of sauce on its own.
Turn on the exhaust fan above the stove or open a window.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the beans with the oil, salt, and pepper.
Quickly add the beans to the pan, arranging them in an even layer.
Remove the lid from the beans with an oven mitt.
Stir the beans with tongs, return the pot lid, and press again.
Immediately remove the pan from heat.
Remove the lid and transfer the beans to a serving bowl.
Toss with lemon juice, vinegar, or hot sauce, if using.
Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
