Ingredients and Variations
Green Beans: Garden or farmer’s market fresh is best, but canned or frozen will work in this recipe too. Drain canned green beans and thaw frozen, but be sure both are patted dry before seasoning.
Seasonings: A little oil, garlic powder, and salt and pepper are all you need to bring out the sweet flavor of grilled green beans. Leftover bacon grease instead of olive oil will give them a smoky bacon flavor. Go savory with an Italian flavor, or a spicy taco twist.
Variations: Add some onion slices, mushrooms, zucchini, or even par-cooked baby potatoes with a few splashes of balsamic vinegar that will caramelize over the veggies to make a whole new dish!
