For an extra layer of flavor, add a minced clove of garlic or a pinch of red pepper flakes to each foil packet. Feel free to experiment with other seasonings. Garlic powder, onion powder, or a dash of smoked paprika would all be delicious additions. Ensure the foil packets are sealed tightly to create a steaming environment, which helps the green beans cook evenly. If you don't have a grill, these foil packets can also be baked in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes. Adjust the amount of butter and seasoning to your personal preference.

Follow The Directions

Step
5 mins
Prepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 375-450°F) and lightly oil the grates. (5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
Create Foil Packets: Layer two sheets of aluminum foil on a flat surface to create a double-layered sheet. Repeat with the remaining foil to make a total of four double-layered sheets. This ensures the packets won't tear.(2 minutes)
03
Step
3 mins
Assemble the Green Beans: Divide the green beans evenly among the four double-layered foil sheets, placing them in the center of each. (3 minutes)
04
Step
2 mins
Season and Butter: Season the green beans generously with seasoned salt and freshly ground black pepper. Distribute the butter pats evenly over the beans in each packet. (2 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
Seal the Packets: Carefully fold the foil over the green beans, creating a tightly sealed packet. Crimp the edges securely to prevent steam from escaping during grilling. (5 minutes)

Step

Grill the Packets: Place the foil packets directly on the preheated grill grates. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the green beans are tender-crisp, flipping the packets halfway through for even cooking. (20 minutes)
