How to Prepare Green Beans for Grilling

Trimming the green beans allows you to get the ends off that may not look as good. I think it really cleans up the green beans and gives it more of polish look.

You can also trim the green beans up to 3 days in advance and store in an airtight container. This saves time for a great weeknight dish.

Place green beans on a cutting board and begin trimming the green beans with a sharp knife. Then season and place on the griddle.
