Grilled Green Beans
Green Beans are awesome on the grill and you don’t need a grilling basket but they do make the work much easier. I used a Aluminum drip pan and cut about 50 holes in the bottom with a knife.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped or 2 teaspoons of granulated garlic
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 pound green beans (ends trimmed) or haricot vert (no need to trim them)
- 1/2 lemon
Instructions
- Prepare your gas or charcoal grill to medium high heat. Add wood chunks or chips to the coals after the grill is heated.
- In a bowl, toss together the olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and green beans, making sure each green bean is evenly coated with all the seasonings.
- Allow green beans to marinate for 30 minutes.
- Place the seasoned green beans on the grill plate/basket and transfer that to the grill over the flame. Grill the green beans for about 5-10 minutes turning every 2 to 3 minutes until they are just charred slightly and soft.
- Using tongs, carefully remove the grill plate/basket from the grill and squeeze the lemon on top of the green beans.
- Season with salt and pepper and serve as needed.
