Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Green beans trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Meanwhile, toss the green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Make sure the beans are evenly coated with the seasonings.
  • Place the green beans directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beans are tender and slightly charred. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  • Once the green beans are done, remove them from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Trimming the green beans — Before grilling, make sure to trim the ends of the green beans. This removes any tough or woody parts and ensures a more enjoyable eating experience.
 
  • Marinating the green beans — For an extra burst of flavor, marinate the green beans in the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper for 30 minutes before grilling. This allows the flavors to penetrate the beans and adds an extra layer of deliciousness.
 
  • Grilling basket — If you're concerned about the green beans falling through the grill grates, consider using a grilling basket or a grill pan. These tools make it easier to handle the beans and prevent them from slipping through.
