Use only 1 tbsp of olive oil and steam the green beans instead of blanching to retain more nutrients.
Toss in 1/2 cup of toasted slivered almonds or pine nuts at the end for added protein and crunch.
Omit the red pepper flakes and toss with 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese just before serving.
Skip blanching. Sauté the green beans in the pan with 2-3 tbsp of water, cover, and steam for 5-7 minutes until tender before adding the garlic.

Yes, you can. You don't need to blanch them. Simply thaw them and add them directly to the skillet after sautéing the garlic, cooking until they are fully heated through.
The key is to not overcook them. Blanch them for only 2-3 minutes and then immediately shock them in an ice bath. This stops the cooking process and keeps them perfectly crisp-tender.
