Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse the green beans under cold water and trim the ends, if necessary.
Pat the green beans dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen cloth to ensure even grilling and to reduce the risk of them steaming instead of grilling.
In a large bowl, combine the green beans, olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the beans are evenly coated.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze one half over the green beans, saving the other half for garnish.
Place the seasoned green beans on the preheated grill in a grilling tray or directly on the grates perpendicular to the way they run.
Grill the green beans for 5 minutes, then flip or stir them and grill for another 5 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender and lightly charred.
Once done, remove the green beans from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the grilled green beans.
Serve warm, garnished with additional lemon wedges for squeezing over, if desired.
