Grilled Green Beans are unfussy, healthy, and the reliable summer side! Fresh green beans tossed in light olive oil, grilled and seasoned with a from-scratch garlic herb blend. Serves 4 to 6 in under 25 minutes.

I’ve been getting a lot of use out of my grill basket lately.

Grilled zucchini, summer squash and asparagus are the usual suspects, but last week I grilled green beans. YES! Grilling green beans is completely a thing and they are crispy and tender and flavor-packed. I’ve always loved fresh green beans. I’ll eat them raw, roasted or pickled, however, grilled may be my regular. This method is so straightforward and flavor-packed that I only had to share. Three ingredients and a grill is all you need.

TO MAKE GRILLED GREEN BEANS GATHER:

fresh green beans – Pick firm green beans without any mushy brown spots or blemishes.
extra light olive oil – Or substitute with avocado oil.
garlic herb seasoning – Or use your regular spice blend.

First, preheat your grill and grill basket to 400°. Meanwhile clean, pat dry and trim the green beans.

Next, place 1-1/2 pounds clean and trimmed green beans into a large bowl.

Next, drizzle with 2 teaspoons of olive oil. I’m using a regular light olive oil, but other infused oils would work too. Then toss those beans until coated.

Lastly, throw them directly into the hot grill basket and close the lid, grilling for 4 to 5 minutes. Don’t stray too far because these will brown and cook quickly.

Toss them around every few minutes until the bean form a flavor-packed grill marks in spots.

Use tongs and transfer the grilled green beans back to the same mixing bowl.

Sprinkle with 1-1/2 tablespoons garlic herb seasoning, tossing to combine.

So simple! The moment I was done shooting the photos, my oldest daughter and I inhaled these like they were the last green beans on earth. Sometimes it’s the simple recipes in life that can be the most savory amiright?
