Are you ready for another awesome grilling recipe? Today we are talking about Grilled Green Beans Recipe and how EASY it is to do! If you have foil and a grill you can make some delicious side dishes and fresh green beans are no different.
Grilled Green Beans in Foil are Delicious and Easy!
My family loves Grilled Broccoli so I just knew they would love grilled beans in foil. There is just something about grilling veggies. The flavor is different and the texture is a little bit crispy.
Even my reluctant husband and kids that normally shy away from vegetables, love this side dish recipe. I use heavy duty foil and clean up is so easy. I’m telling you, grilling is the way to go because your kitchen stays clean!
These Grilled Green Beans are an easy Side Dish Recipe!
Now if you are not a fan of fresh green beans ( I used to not be) go ahead and give these a try anyway. Like most things on the grill – you will be surprised by how delicious these actually taste. AND if I have not convinced you to try fresh green beans, then you can do this with canned. Just drain them and shorten the cooking time in half.
My husband was surprised by how delicious these were and he’s officially a fan of grilled green beans now.
These are fantastic with Balsamic Pork Tenderloin, Slow Cooker Whole Chicken, Easy Baked Tilapia and more! Truly, you will love these green beans! Once you try them you will understand. They are tender but a little crunchy and the grill just gives them the best flavor. So good!
You only need foil to make this easy grilled vegetable recipe!
My favorite part of this recipe is that you don’t need a fancy grill pan or grill basket to make these grilled green beans recipe. I love just using foil to make this easy side dish.
The foil helps steam the green beans on the grill which softens them more than compared to green beans that were placed not wrapped on the grill.
- Fresh Green Beans
- Olive Oil or Non Stick Spray
- Salt and Pepper
- Foil (I use heavy duty foil)
Clean and cut the ends of the fresh green beans.
Place them on a sheet of foil. (I use heavy duty foil)
Add olive oil (or non stick spray) and Season with Salt and pepper. Then toss to coat the beans in the oil.
You can toss them in a large bowl but I just toss them in the foil to save on dishes!
Fold into a foil pack. Heat your grill to medium high heat.
Cook for 5 minutes on each side on direct flames. Since everything is protected in your foil packet, you don’t have to worry about how you place the packet on the grill grates.

HI–want to make these tonight. Pictures all show butter, but no butter mentioned in recipe. Is there butter or no? Thank you
You can use butter instead of olive oil if you prefer. I used a tablespoon of butter cut into 2 pieces so it’s even over the green beans before. Thank you!
