Grilled Green Beans Recipes

Steps:

• In a 6-qt. stockpot, bring 4 quarts water to a boil. Add beans; cook, uncovered, just until crisp-tender, 2-3 minutes. Remove beans and immediately drop into ice water., In a small skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add shallot; cook and stir until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds longer. Remove from heat. Drain beans and pat dry., In a large bowl, combine beans, shallot mixture and cheese; toss to coat. Transfer to a piece of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. square) coated with cooking spray. Fold foil around beans, sealing tightly., Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat until cheese is melted, 7-9 minutes. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Combine green beans, onion, and bacon in a bowl. Drizzle olive oil over green beans mixture and season with seasoning blend; stir to coat. Transfer green beans mixture to a grilling basket or wok.
• Place green beans mixture on the preheated grill and cook, stirring every 10 minutes, until tender, about 30 minutes. Add mushroom to green beans mixture and cook until tender, about 10 minutes more.

Steps:

• For the chutney. In a small sauce pot on medium heat, add the preserves, giardiniera, bell pepper, vinegar, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add a splash of water to loosen and bring to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the bell pepper becomes tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley and mint.
• For the green beans. Prepare a grill for high heat and place an inverted wire resting rack on top of the grill.
• Place the green beans in a single layer on top of the wire rack and close the grill lid. Grill, rotating midway through, until bright green, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Transfer the grilled green beans to a large bowl, toss with the chutney, season with salt and pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Build a hot wood fire in your grill. (You can do the same with charcoal. If you're using a gas grill, place a few hardwood chunks under the grate over one or two of the burners. Heat one burner on high heat and additional burners on medium heat, adjusting the heat as necessary.) Brush and oil the grill grate.
• Combine 1/4 cup oil and the garlic in a small saucepan and cook over low heat until the garlic is fragrant but not browned, 8 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let cool. Stir in red-pepper flakes, lemon zest and parsley.
• Place beans in a large bowl with the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to mix.
• Arrange beans directly on the grill or in a wire grill basket. Grill beans until charred and crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes, turning with tongs. (You may need to work in two batches, depending on the size of your grill.)
• Return hot beans to the mixing bowl and stir in garlic-parsley oil. Squeeze in lemon juice. Stir in basil and mint leaves and serve.

Steps:

• Put green beans on a sheet of aluminum foil large enough to fold and seal. You may need to fold two sheets together.
• Note: I also use one sheet of foil to set the pouch on. This way if any liquid seeps out or it pulls apart it doesn't leave a mess.
• Drizzle olive oil over the beans.
• Add minced garlic and crushed red pepper, salt and pepper to taste.
• Toss green beans with tongs until well coated.
• Add water and fold aluminum foil together at the top and pinch the sides closed.
• Cook green bean pouch on the grill.
• Notes: When I put my main dish on the grill I open the beans and toss with tongs. If all the water is gone, add a little more, reseal and move to top rack. If I lift the grill lid to flip main dish I usually give the pouch a shake.

Steps:

• In bowl, toss 1 red onion, cut into 8 wedges, with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Cook in hot wok until caramelized on one side, 3 to 5 minutes.
• In bowl, toss 3/4 pound trimmed green beans with 1 tablespoon oil. Flip onions; put beans on top. Cook until beans are tender, 5 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine green beans, olive oil, garlic, and salt in a bowl; toss to coat. Allow green beans to marinate for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Toss beans with olive oil, salt and pepper. Grill for 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Place green beans on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. square). Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and dot with butter. Fold foil around beans, sealing tightly., Grill, covered, over medium heat 9-11 minutes on each side or until beans are tender. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Add the beans, onion and mushrooms; toss to coat.
• Place half of the vegetables on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 18 inches square); fold foil around vegetables and seal tightly. Repeat with remaining vegetables.
• Grill, covered, over medium heat for 18-22 minutes or until beans are tender, turning packets over several times to get an even coating of the sauce on all the vegetables. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.
