Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a large bowl, combine the green beans with olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss well to ensure the beans are evenly coated.
Place a grill basket on the grill and spread the green beans in a single layer within the basket.
Grill the green beans for about 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally to ensure even cooking, until they are tender and lightly charred.
Remove the green beans from the grill and transfer them to a serving dish.
Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the hot green beans and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
