Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb fresh green beans
1 small onion, sliced
2-4 slice bacon cut into quarters (low sodium or turkey)
4 medium mushrooms, sliced
season of choice
grill wok

Steps:

  • 1. Slice onions and mushrooms and cut bacon slices into quarters. Prep the green beans.
  • 2. Place wok over the heated side of the grill. Add bacon and optional onions. Sear for a couple of minutes.
  • 3. Move basket to unheated side of grill, add beans and mushrooms to wok. Season and stir.
  • 4. Cook over indirect heat (with lid shut), approx. 325°-350° for 30-45 min. stirring often. Cooking time will depend on heat of grill and how al dente you like your beans.

Tips:

  • For the freshest, most flavorful green beans, choose ones that are bright green and crisp, with no blemishes or wilting.
  • Trim the green beans by snapping off the ends. You can also use a knife to cut off the ends if you prefer.
  • Blanching the green beans before grilling helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the green beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately remove the green beans from the boiling water and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Toss the green beans with olive oil, salt, and pepper before grilling. This will help them to brown and caramelize.
  • Grill the green beans over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred. Be sure to turn the green beans frequently so that they cook evenly.
  • Serve the grilled green beans immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or dressing.

Conclusion:

Grilled green beans are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed all summer long. They are easy to make and can be grilled on a charcoal grill, gas grill, or even in a grill pan. With their bright green color and slightly charred flavor, grilled green beans are sure to be a hit at your next cookout or barbecue.
