Grilled Green Beans with Cumin and Smoked Paprika

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• pinch cayenne pepper
• 1 pound fresh green beans washed and trimmed
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1/2 lemon juiced, optional

Instructions:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high.
• In the bottom of a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, cumin, paprika, and cayenne. Add green beans to bowl and toss to coat evenly.
• Place beans in an even layer directly on the grill (carefully to keep them from falling through) or on a grill pan.
• Cook until crisp-tender and unevenly charred and blistered, 10-12 minutes, depending on the amount of char you like.
• Transfer beans to a serving bowl and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Squeeze lemon juice over if desired. Serve.
