4 oz Green beans
🥄
⅛ tsp Salt
⅛ tsp Black pepper
¼ tbsp Olive oil
🥄
¼ tbsp Water

Directions

Prep 10 minCook 20 min

1
Tear 2 (18-inch by 24-inch) pieces of heavy duty aluminum foil. Lay the pieces of foil on top of each other, and put the beans in the middle of the foil, in a pile roughly following the shape of the foil.
2
Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the beans, then drizzle with the olive oil and water.
3
Bring the long sides of the foil together over the top of the beans. Fold the long sides over twice, then keep folding until you have a long envelope with the foil tight against the pile of beans. Fold the open ends of the envelope a few times to seal.
4
Prepare the grill for cooking on medium heat.
5
Put the envelope of beans over direct medium heat and cook with the lid closed for 8 minutes.
6
Flip the bag of beans, and cook for another 8 minutes.
7
Carefully open the bag and check the beans - a bean from the middle of the pile should be floppy and cooked all the way through. If not, seal up the envelope and cook until the beans are tender.
8
Open one end of the foil envelope - be careful, the steam is hot - and pour the beans onto a platter. Serve.
9
Add or substitute baby carrots, broccoli, and/or asparagus.
