While the oil infuses, toss the green beans on the prepared sheet pan with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and kosher salt to taste. Ensure the beans are nicely seasoned. Transfer the pan to the broiler and cook for 2 minutes. Check for charring; if not charring, return for another 1 to 2 minutes. If charring, toss the beans and return to the broiler for another 2 minutes. Continue cooking for another minute or so until the beans are blistered to your liking. Be vigilant as broiler times vary.

While the beans are broiling, ensure the olive oil in the skillet is gently shimmering with the garlic, capers, and pepper flakes. Increase the heat to medium or high, stirring occasionally. As soon as the garlic begins to brown at the edges and crisp up, remove the pan from the burner and pour the infused oil over the beans.
