Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Romano beans
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 Lemon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Wash the Romano beans thoroughly and trim the ends if necessary. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel.
In a large bowl, toss the Romano beans with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until evenly coated.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.
Zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Then cut the lemon into wedges for serving.
Place the beans on the preheated grill in a single layer. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the beans are tender with a slight char.
Remove the grilled beans from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.
Sprinkle the minced garlic and lemon zest over the beans while they are still warm.
Squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice over the beans for added brightness.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
