Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh green beans
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 1 medium lemon
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

Step 2

Rinse and trim the green beans, cutting off any tough ends.

Step 3

Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Cut the lemon in half and set aside one half for juicing and the other half for optional garnish slices.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans with extra-virgin olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Toss until the green beans are evenly coated.

Step 6

Using a grill basket or a double-layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil with the edges folded up to create a shallow bowl, place the green beans mixture.

Step 7

Grill the green beans over direct heat for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender-crisp and have grill marks.

Step 8

Remove from the grill and transfer the green beans to a serving bowl.

Step 9

Squeeze the juice of half the lemon over the grilled green beans and toss to combine.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Optionally, garnish with lemon slices before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot as a side dish with your choice of Whole30-compliant protein.
