These grilled green beans are a quick and flavorful side dish. The high heat of the grill caramelizes the beans, creating a smoky char while keeping them tender-crisp.
1Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F.
2In a large bowl, toss the trimmed green beans with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
3Place the green beans in a grill basket or on a sheet of heavy-duty foil.
4Grill for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs, until the beans are tender-crisp and have visible char marks.
5They should be bright green with some blackened spots.
6While the beans grill, prepare the dressing by whisking together the remaining olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
7Transfer the hot grilled green beans to a serving platter and drizzle the dressing over them.
For best results, use fresh green beans that are uniform in size for even cooking. You can also add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before serving for extra flavor.
