This recipe pairs very well with my Parmesan Chicken Meatballs. I usually sauté these seasoned green beans in a pan but when it's warm enough outside I make most things on the Blackstone. They turn out perfectly crispy and delicious cooked both ways!
For extra delicious flavor, cook with some fresh onions and bacon.

Step 1. Wash your green beans and pop the stems off or you can use frozen pre-washed and pre-cut.

Hint: I like to wait until closer to the end of cooking to add in my minced onion because it tends to burn easily.
