Grilled Beans!

If real estate on your grill is available, try this tasty method. 

Prep time:  10 minutes
Cook time: 4-6 minutes
Serves:  2-4 as a side dish

INGREDIENTS
1 pound fresh beans
3 TB Olive Oil
Salt to taste

DIRECTIONS
Preheat your grill.  Place your beans in a baking dish, drizzle with the olive oil, and turn to coat.   When you're ready to cook, arrange the beans in a single layer across the grill (as in the photo above). Cook for about 3 minutes, turn with tongs, and cook for another 3 minutes or until tender crisp.   Carefully remove beans to a serving platter and drizzle with remaining oil from the baking dish.  Season to taste with salt.

Tip:  This method works best with larger beans (the smaller ones are more likely to fall in!)
