Grilled Green Beans with Lemon and Feta
Grilled Green Beans with Lemon and Feta offer a fresh vegetable side with a charred flavor from grilling. Tossed in olive oil, salt, and pepper then cooked until tender and slightly blackened, the beans develop depth and smokiness. Finishing with fresh lemon juice and crumbled feta adds brightness and creamy saltiness, balancing the grilled notes. This preparation highlights the green beans’ natural crispness enhanced by the grilling technique and simple seasonings.

Notes
- Trim green bean ends uniformly by lining up beans and slicing off ends together for consistent cooking.
- Make sure green beans are completely dry after washing to achieve good grilling char instead of steaming.
- Use a grill basket or cast iron skillet on the grill to prevent beans from falling through grates and to allow easier stirring.
- Preheat the grill to 375°F before cooking for ideal searing and flavor development.
- Stir or flip green beans every few minutes during grilling to cook evenly and avoid burning.
