Grilled Veggies - Green Beans Two Ways
Foil Pouch - Foil pouch vegetables are an easy way to make a side dish directly on the grill. The veggies steam inside the foil pouch, brown a little, and are done in about fifteen minutes, while you work on grilling the protien to a perfect medium-rare.
1 pound beans, ends trimmed
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon water
Wrap the Beans: Lay the pieces of foil on top of each other, and put the beans in the middle of the foil, in a pile roughly following the shape of the foil. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the beans, then drizzle with the olive oil and water. Bring the long sides of the foil together over the top of the beans. Fold the long sides over twice, then keep folding until you have a long envelope with the foil tight against the pile of beans. Fold the open ends of the envelope a few times to seal.
Preheat the grill: Prepare the grill for cooking on medium heat, then clean with a grill brush. For my Weber summit, I preheat the grill with all burners on high for 15 minutes, then turn the burners down to medium and brush the grate clean.
Cook the beans: Put the envelope of beans over direct medium heat, and cook with the lid closed for 8 minutes. Flip the bag of beans, and cook for another 8 minutes. Carefully open the bag and check the beans – a bean from the middle of the pile should be floppy, and cooked all the way through. If not, seal up the envelope and cook until the beans are tender.
Grill Pan - Lets you see the beans as you're cooking...allowing you to know for sure when they are done.
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Combine green beans, olive oil, garlic, and salt in a bowl; toss to coat. Allow green beans to marinate for 30 minutes.
Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Arrange green beans on a grill pan.
Place grill pan on preheated grill; cook and stir green beans until lightly charred, about 10 minutes.
