Ingredients
- Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons
- Green beans
- 1 pound, fresh and trimmed
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, ensuring that the grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent the beans from sticking.
- In a large bowl, toss the trimmed green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until they are all well-coated with the olive oil and spices.
- Arrange the green beans on the grill perpendicular to the grates to prevent them from falling through. Grill them for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are tender crisp and have a slight char on them.
- Remove the green beans from the grill and place them back in the large bowl. While they are still hot, drizzle them with freshly squeezed lemon juice and give them a gentle toss to spread the tangy flavor evenly.
- Serve these char-grilled green beans hot with your favorite grilled meat or seafood, or as a stand-alone vegetarian dish. Enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors that this dish brings to your table.
Tips
- For an added crunch, sprinkle some slivered almonds on top before serving.
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the olive oil and spice mixture before tossing the green beans.
