Grilled Green Beans

 Fresh green beans and onions take on a whole new flavor profile when grilled! The green beans become smoky and the onions become sweet. This is the perfect side dish to any meat or fish main dish!

in the steamer basket and ready for the grill

The important thing to remember is that the green beans and onions need to be exposed during grilling. I placed all the ingredients into a steamer basket, then onto the grill. You want to get a nice char because that will bring out all the flavors.
