Notes
- Preparation Tips:
- Grilling Tips:
- Trimming: Trim the ends of the green beans for a cleaner presentation and more uniform cooking. This can be done quickly by lining up a handful of beans and slicing off the ends in one go.
- Dry Thoroughly: After washing, make sure the green beans are completely dry. This helps them grill better, giving you that perfect char without steaming.
- Use a Grill Basket: A grill basket prevents the beans from falling through the grates and makes it easier to stir them around. If you don’t have a grill basket, a cast iron skillet works great too.
- Preheat the Grill: Ensure your grill is preheated to 375°F before adding the green beans. A hot grill gives the beans a nice sear and locks in the flavor.
- Stir Often: Flip the beans every couple of minutes to ensure they cook evenly and get charred on all sides. This also helps prevent burning.
