Asian Grilled Green Beans


Do you need a new treatment for green beans? This flavorful Asian-inspired dish will really sock it to your tastebuds. And it can grill right alongside your favorite meat. Surely, there are a few grilling days left this fall!

To make the sauce, combine the brown sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.



Whisk well to combine.

Then toss the beans, onion and mushrooms in a large bowl.



Pour the sauce over and stir the vegetables well to evenly coat them.



The beans are going to go in foil packets – to make them, tear a large piece of foil and then fold it over to make it double strength. Put half of the vegetables on one piece of foil,



and the other half on the other piece.



Fold the corners up.



Seal them tightly.



Grill the beans about 18-20 minutes or until they’re tender. Be careful when you open the packets as there will be lots of steam!

Asian Grilled Green Beans


1 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. sesame oil
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
8 medium fresh mushrooms, quartered, or 1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms

In a small bowl, combine sugar, oil, soy sauce, garlic and red pepper flakes. Whisk well to combine. In a large bowl, combine the beans, onions and mushrooms. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and stir well to coat.

Place half of the vegetables on a double thickness of heavy duty foil (about 18 inches square), fold foil around vegetables and seal tightly. Repeat with other half of vegetables.

Grill, covered, for 18-20 minutes or until beans are tender. Open packages carefully to let steam escape.
