It's not a bad idea to grill a few sides if it seems like a hassle to fire up the grill for a main dish.Green beans are great since you can cook them while your main dish is resting, and the grill gives them a great smoky flavor.You can wrap the beans in a foil pouch if you don't want them to char on the outside.If you follow our suggestions, you will be sitting down to tender green beans hot off the grill.
Step 1: Light a chimney of briquettes or turn half of the gas burners to high.
Carefully pour them onto the grill grate once they're hot and covered with ash.Put the lid on the grill and let it cook for about 5 minutes before throwing the beans on.
Step 2: The ends of the beans need to be removed.
You don't need to trim off a lot from the end of the bean.Put the trimmed beans in a bowl.
Step 3: Put a small amount of olive oil over the Beans.
Sprinkle salt and pepper.Use your hands or tongs to toss the beans.Leave out the salt and mix in 1 g of cajun seasoning for a spicy kick.
Step 4: Place the beans on the grill grate by brushing it with oil.
They don't fall through if you arrange them in a straight line.If you're worried about them falling through the gaps, you can toss the beans into a grill basket and set them on the grill grate.
Step 5: The beans should be cooked for about a minute when you put the lid down.
Lift the lid and use tongs to flip the beans.Lower the lid and cook the beans.If you like the beans soft, cooking them longer is fine.
Step 6: If you want to taste the grilled beans, transfer them to a serving dish.
If you think they need it, add more salt or pepper to the beans.If you like, you can add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a few cloves of garlic.It's important to wait until after grilling to use garlic since it burns easily and tastes bitter.If you want a strong kick, scatter freshly shaved Parmesan over the beans.
Step 7: You can make a salad out of grilled beans and other grilled vegetables.
You can mix in grilled tomatoes, sliced onions, roasted radishes, or tender chunks of potatoes.Beans can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
