Grilled Green Beans with Cumin and Smoked Paprika
3 - Dinner, Side
Ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
pinch cayenne pepper
1 lb. fresh green beans washed and trimmed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 lemon juiced optional
Description
It's tricky to grill green beans without a grill pan as they're determined to slip through the grates. It's worth buying if you don't own one. You'll find many uses for it.
Directions
Preheat a grill to medium-high.
In the bottom of a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, cumin, paprika, and cayenne.
Add green beans to bowl and toss to coat evenly.
Place beans in an even layer directly on the grill (carefully to keep them from falling through) or on a grill pan.
Cook until crisp-tender and unevenly charred and blistered, 10-12 minutes, depending on the amount of char you like.
Transfer beans to a serving bowl and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Squeeze lemon juice over if desired. Serve.
