Grilled Asparagus and Green Beans

July 17, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 7 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today I debated about sharing my recipe with you.  Sometimes I’m not sure what my readers want to see, I personally believe in a variety of different recipes because that’s what I like.  So why didn’t I want to share my recipe with you?  It’s nothing fancy, it’s just a simple side dish and I thought hmm, I don’t know?  Then the next day, I had it cold for lunch and I couldn’t believe how good it tasted.  I think the first night, I was just cranky.  You ever get in one of those crank y moods and nothing seems good enough?  That was me, one day and then the next I’m all perked up and better!  So I decided, yes I must share the recipe, it’s healthy, flavorful and so good for you, plus it uses fresh summer produce.

Grilled Asparagus with Green Beans and Roasted Tomatoes

So here is my almost never made it to my blog, Grilled Asparagus with Green Beans and Roasted Tomatoes.   As you may have seen from Instagram I have been on a major vegetable kick and after receiving  fresh green beans this past week from the CSA, I knew I must have them in my belly!!  So my first intent was green beans, but then my refrigerator is way over flowing with vegetables that I wanted to use up, plus make some space in the fridge for leftovers and other goodies.  So in came the asparagus!

Grilled Asparagus with Green Beans and Roasted Tomatoes


Asparagus and green beans make a great combo and cook relatively the same amount of time.  But I didn’t want an all green side dish, so  threw in some cherry tomatoes for some color.  I cooked everything together on the grill and man oh man!  The slight char from the asparagus and the steamed green beans with popping cherry tomatoes is so yummy.   I used some healthy, good for you lemon infused olive oil for a slight tang, and threw in some minced garlic for a little kick of flavor.  I’m telling you if you like these vegetables, combining them together is simply amazing!!  Your pallet will be very happy and so will the belly!

Grilled Asparagus with Green Beans and Roasted Tomatoes

For the asparagus, I just placed them directly on the grates of my grill and turned them over every two minutes until they were slightly charred and fork tender.  They started to get a little wrinkly.  For the green beans I made a nice little foil packet and placed them in the packet with the cherry tomatoes, and cooked them for about 8 minutes, until the beans were slightly softened and the tomatoes were exploding.  This is really an easy dish, with just a little bit of preparation.  This is what my foil packet looked like.  I thought I would show you since my description in the recipe may not be great!

A simple, light side dish made with lemon infused grilled asparagus, beans, tomatoes and parmesan cheese.
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 8.8 oz. green beans (246 grams)
  • 12 oz asparagus
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tsp. lemon infused olive oil, divided
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • aluminium foil
  • 1 tsp. Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
  1. Preheat grill to low to medium heat.
  2. In a bowl add green beans and tomatoes. Add ½ tsp. olive oil and garlic, mix well. NOTE: if you do not have lemon infused olive oil, just sprinkle vegetables with a pinch of lemon juice and olive oil. You'll want to add the lemon flavor.
  3. Create a foil packet, Use two square sheets of aluminium foil big enough to hold the vegetables, plus a little room to move. Place the beans and tomatoes in the center of one sheet, Place the other sheet over top of the vegetables and fold the edges together so the vegetables are sealed in. it will look like a big square.
  4. In the same bowl your vegetables were in, add asparagus and brush with remaining olive oil. I used my hands to rub the olive oil over the asparagus.
  5. Place the foil packet with vegetables over low heat, turning frequently. Cook for about 5 - 8 minutes; or until vegetables are tender. Take packet off grill and set a side.
  6. To cook asparagus, place directly onto grill grates over low heat, turning every two minutes until tender and they slightly start to wrinkle. Be sure not to burn them. About 5 minutes.
  7. After the asparagus are cooked, cut them into bite size pieces (I used my kitchen scissors) and place in a bowl with the cooked green beans and tomato mixture; give a little mix and top with some Parmesan cheese.

Grilled Asparagus with Green Beans and Roasted Tomatoes

I just love grilling season!  I served this dish with roasted BBQ chicken.  It was so good!  As I am sitting here at my kitchen table and looking out my window the grill is sitting there, staring back at me!  I’m thinking roasted corn on the cob for dinner tonight!  I will say it again, I LOVE grilling season!

Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    Haha, I know those cranky-too-hungry moods all too well! Sometimes I’ll be scrolling through recipes and food blogs, just making myself even hungrier and being too lazy to actually do anything about it.
    I love grilled vegetables- and asparagus is so nice this time of year!

Happy Thursday! We have been having 100 degree wea Happy Thursday! We have been having 100 degree weather for the past couple of days, but now we are going to cool off into the 70’s. Such a big change, that it’s going to feel cold. 
🌸
My plants have seemed to have survived the heat pretty good, except for my Black Eyed Susan’s that I planted a few weeks ago. Hopefully they will bounce back with the cooler weather we will get. 
🌸
This is a photo of my garden that I took a couple of days ago. It’s filling in nicely. I planted a small Mexican Sunflower plant a few weeks ago and I’m looking forward to watching it grow. I planted one last year and it grew so fast that it ended up collapsing and I had to tear it out. I’m hoping planting a smaller one, it will get more if a root system and hold up to its height. It’s such a cool plant with beautiful orange flowers. 
🌸
What is your favorite flower to grow?

Happy Tuesday! I thought it would be fun to create Happy Tuesday! I thought it would be fun to create an outdoor tablescape. It’s such a pretty space to see and I love how you can make the outdoors an extension of your home. I loved looking out my window and seeing my table. Now I wouldn’t leave it up like I do my dining room, but it was fun to keep it up for the day. 
🌸
Now let me tell you, it is so hard for me to photograph outside. I tried to do it before sunrise and I tried again at sunset. Ugh! I just can’t get the right lighting. I don’t know how so many people make there outdoors look so pretty. If you have any tips, let me know. I’d appreciate that.
🌸
Do you like to photograph outside?

Happy Monday! Last week of work until vacation. I Happy Monday! Last week of work until vacation. I can’t wait. I haven’t had any vacation since Christmas, except for a few random days here and there. I have no plans, but I sure plan on enjoying it.
🌿
Speaking of Christmas, I don’t think I have showed you my console table me since then. I finally finished decorating it. It’s been half done for about a month. Before that, it was an awful catch all space. 
🌿
I decided to stick to the greens, neutrals and for some added color yellow. I really like using yellow this time of year. I noticed I started decorating with yellow in my dining room and it trinkled into my living room. 
🌿
What’s your favorite color to decorate for in the summer?

🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIEN 🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR ENGAGEMENT TOUR! 
~M🌼Y your day be filled with happy moments and beautiful flowers! 

I decided to create a zinnia garden this year and I am so excited to see it bloom. A few flowers started to show. I didn’t want Sully 🐶 in the garden, so I put a fence around it.  It worked for about 3 weeks. I was on stories yesterday, showing other parts of the garden and I turned around and saw Sully in my garden. I must have screamed so loud. He was stuck in there and panicking because I was. I got him out and no damage to any of the flowers. That was scary!

Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went cherry picking. It was so fun! We got so many cherries. I’m guessing about 9 pounds. I have no clue how two people are going to eat 9 pounds of cherries? But we will try.
🍒
I am so happy we were actually able to pick cherries. We missed out the past couple of years. The season comes up so fast and only lasts a couple of weeks. Plus it gets so busy that the traffic is awful. That’s one thing about California is the traffic is so bad here that it takes the joy out of doing things. But not this year! I got my cherries!! 
🍒
If swipe the photos, you will see the bucket of cherries and a couple cherries on the tree.

What is your favorite cherry recipe?

☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIE ☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR TOUR! 
M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

We are a fabulous group of friends sharing their love of flowers and elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. I can’t believe that this weekend is Mothers Day. It just seems early this year. I am not sure what are plans are going to be this weekend?
🌷
I am sharing with you the @krumpetshomedecor deal of the week. It’s a set of two mango wood trays with a beautiful rope handle.
🌷
The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.
🌷
Don’t forget that Krumpets Home Decor is having 25% off there whole site. Plus you can use my 10% off discount code on top of the sale price: PBANDP. The link is in my bio.
🌷
Do you have any plans for Mothers Day?
