GREEN BEANS GRILLED IN FOIL
While grilling out, we decided to try grilling fresh green beans. After having this, we will never have green beans another way. I use my own mixture of 'silly salt' for this recipe--equal amounts of pepper, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder, but seasoned salt works as well.

GREEN BEANS ON THE GRILL
I grill just about every other night so I've tried to perfect how to cook certain vegetables along with the main course. I've found they cook to my liking when I put then on while the grill is heating up to get them going. It gives them a good 10 minutes for extreme heat before moving them aside for the main dish. They are basically roasted and steamed at the same time. Try adding some onion or tossing with lemon pepper before serving.

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.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them.
- Trim the beans: Remove the ends of the beans and any strings that run along the sides.
- Blanch the beans (optional): Blanching the beans in boiling water for a few minutes helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch, bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the beans, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Drain the beans and rinse them with cold water.
- Marinate the beans: Marinating the beans in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices helps to add flavor and moisture. You can use any type of marinade you like, but a simple mixture of olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic works well.
- Grill the beans: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the beans in a single layer on a lightly oiled sheet of aluminum foil. Grill for 8-10 minutes, or until the beans are tender and slightly charred.
- Serve the beans: Serve the beans immediately, while they are still hot. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro.
Conclusion:
Grilled green beans in foil is a simple and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The beans are tender and flavorful, with a slightly smoky flavor from the grill. This recipe is a great way to use up fresh green beans, and it is also a healthy and nutritious option.
