Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when bent. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the tough ends of the green beans. You can do this by snapping them off or using a sharp knife.
  • Blanch the green beans (optional): Blanching the green beans 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 transfer the green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Slice the onions: Slice the onions into thin strips. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer.
  • Marinate the green beans and onions: Combine the green beans, onions, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Toss to coat. Let the vegetables marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Grill the green beans and onions: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the green beans and onions in a single layer for 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred. Toss the vegetables occasionally to prevent them from burning.

Conclusion:

Grilled green beans and onions are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed all summer long. They are easy to make and can be served with a variety of main courses.
