Grilled Green Beans - Allergy Free CookBook


Grilled green beans are best with fresh picked green beans. Formerly frozen green beans can be grilled, though they may be mushier. Some people do not like grilled green beans, as they feel the texture is of half raw green beans, which can be a stomach irritant. Green beans can be grilled in an individual packet or mixed with potatoes, butter, and even ham or bacon bits. The fuller the packet, the more time it will need to cook. Sometimes, placing the vegetables on the grill before the meat is the best way to verify that they cook completely.
