The Best green beans on the grill recipe
I love making green beans on the grill because it is such a simple way to get a healthy side dish on the table. My kids actually get excited when they see me firing up the grill for these beans. They come out with a nice smoky flavor and a little bit of char that makes them way more interesting than steamed beans. This recipe is perfect for summer cookouts or even just a weeknight dinner when you want something easy. Green beans are full of fiber and vitamins, so I feel good about serving them to my family. They go with just about anything from grilled chicken to steak.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Grilled Green Beans
1. Can I use frozen green beans for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen green beans. Just make sure to thaw them completely and pat them dry with a paper towel before tossing them with oil and grilling. This helps them get a good char instead of steaming.
2. Do I have to use a grill basket?
No, you dont need a grill basket. You can make a foil packet by placing the seasoned beans on a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil and folding the edges to seal it. Just make sure to poke a few holes in the top to let steam escape.
3. How do I keep green beans from falling through the grill grates?
Using a grill basket is the easiest way to prevent them from falling through. If you dont have one, a foil packet works great. You can also lay them perpendicular to the grates if the spaces are small enough.
4. What other seasonings can I add to grilled green beans?
You can get creative with seasonings. Try adding minced garlic, red pepper flakes, or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese after grilling. A splash of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice also adds nice flavor.
5. How long do leftover grilled green beans last?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay good for up to 3 days. To reheat, you can quickly saute them in a pan or microwave them until warm.
