I recently saw this recipe in my Facebook news feed. We eat a lot of green beans, and although they are delicious steamed with some butter and garlic, this sounded like a lovely summer variation.
The beans have a caramelized flavor that is almost sweet. And the recipe is super simple. It is written for one serving, so you can easily multiply for your family or for a crowd.
We ate them with grilled steaks and baked potatoes with sour cream and fresh chives.

Grilled Green Beans
8 oz fresh green beans
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp lemon juice (I used fresh squeezed)
1 tsp garlic powder (this seemed like a lot but it was perfect!)
1/2 tsp salt (optional, I used a generous pinch)
pepper to taste
Parmesan cheese
Mix all ingredients except cheese in a large Ziploc bag. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
Grill over medium heat, turning often until crisp tender, about 10 minutes. We used to have a grill pan but apparently it did not move to our new house with us. Fortunately we had a box of disposable grill sheets instead. It would be impossible to grill these on the grate without losing them!
Remove beans from grill and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
