Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the green beans are evenly coated with the olive oil and seasoning.
Carefully place the green beans on the grill using tongs. Arrange them in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
Grill the green beans for about 4-5 minutes, then use the tongs to turn them over. Continue grilling for an additional 4-5 minutes until they have grill marks and are tender but still crisp.
Once cooked, transfer the grilled green beans back into the mixing bowl.
Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh chopped parsley to the grilled green beans. Toss everything well to combine and further enhance the flavor.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Serve the vegan grilled green beans immediately as a side dish, or let them cool slightly to serve as part of a salad.
