- Yield: 4 appetizer servings 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (15 ounces) cannellini beans
- Olive oil
- 4–6 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- About 1/2 bunch fresh sage leaves, roughly chopped

Instructions
- Drain and rinse the beans well. Place in a small saucepan with enough olive oil to just cover (optional: add a bit of salt).

- Serve warm with baby carrots, celery sticks, and baked tortilla chips.
