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! I changed up my dining room a lit Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room  a little bit. I took out my Easter decor and gave it a more neutral look and did some switching around. Plus I added a Samantha Sue, who is laying down in the photo. lol
🍓
One of my favorite pieces that I added was my new @krumpetshomedecor sign. I love the style of the sign with the shiplap white wash look and of course the cute strawberry and daisies that add a pretty pop of color.
🍓
The sign is also reversible. It also says Life is Sweet on the other side without the strawberries and daises. The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week.
🍓
You can get free shipping and an additional 10% off with my discount: PBANDP.
🍓
What is your favorite summer fruit?

Hello and happy Wednesday! Thank you for all your Hello and happy Wednesday!  Thank you for all your kind words about the dentist. All he had to do is cement my crown back on. He said your crown has sticky with clear stuff on it. He said I don’t think it’s the old cement?  I told him I ate a white Trader Joe’s jelly bean and I thought I got it all off. He was laughing.
🌿
It’s that time of year for house plant care. While your plants are waking from dormancy, it’s time to feed them, repot them if needed and give a trim if applicable.
🌿
I also water my plants about every 7-10 days, depending on the plant. My coffee plant, fern, violet and my mixed plant container needs watering more. The key to know when to water is check the soil. I use a water meter probe and  you just stick it in the dirt. If it’s dry, I water. If it’s moist or wet, I’ll check again in a few days. You can get a water meter at Lowe’s, your local nursery or Amazon. It’s my number 1 garden tool. We use it on outside plants too.
🌿
I’m also sharing with you my cute little tea towel that I got from @e.h.designco. Her shop is closed right now because she’s moving, but will be open back in June.
🌿
Okay, go check your plants!
🌿
What’s your favorite house plant?

Happy Tuesday! Well today’s the day! I head to Happy Tuesday!  Well today’s the day! I head to the dentist. Wish me luck. I hope they will be able to glue my crown back on. I hate going to the dentist! Ugh!
🌸
Today I am sharing with you my new plates and bowls that I got from @sonemone_official. I just love them. The shade of blue is so pretty and I love the vibrant colors on them.
🌸
The bowls are huge and would make a wonderful soup bowl or salad bowl. The plates would be beautiful served with a charcuterie board. They are microwave and dishwasher safe. They would be so pretty on a summer tablescape.
🌸
Are you ready for summer decorating?

Happy Good Friday! So happy the weekend is here. Happy Good Friday!  So happy the weekend is here. It’s been a glorious week with warm temperatures and sunshine. Next week it’s supposed to cool off dramatically, so I am going to enjoy it while it’s here.
💕
I wanted to get one last Easter tiered tray in before Sunday. Everything you see here is from small shops. I tagged all of them in the photo.
💕
This weekend I’ll be taking a break from IG to work in the yard and to do some decorating so I have some new content to share with you. Though with Easter almost behind us, I’m unsure what I’ll do next? But I do think I’ll stick with the yellows? But we’ll see.
💕
Have the most wonderful weekend and Easter holiday!!

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind us and now we are in April. March flew by in a blink of an eye.  I can’t get over how fast the month went. It’s crazy.
🌸
My excitement for me today is trying to get into a dentist. My crown on my implant fell out yesterday when I was eating a jelly bean. The last place I want to go is the dentist. Yuck!
🌸
I’ll admit engagement in March on IG has just been awful. But I am so thankful for you. Thank you for stopping by and liking my photos and your sweet comments. You always make my day. Let’s hope April is better for all of us.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my top 4 photos of March. You guys picked some good ones. The first photo of the Easter tablescape is my favorite tablescape I’ve done.
🌸
Do you have any plans for this weekend?

Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 bunnies into this picture, if you count the bunnies on the pillow. Can you find them all?

This is probably my favorite spot to decorate. About a year or so ago, I had no idea what to do in this area. I struggled so much. It’s just an odd space. Then I bought the white bench and it instantly became so much fun to decorate.
🐰
I loved the bench so much, I bought a second one to go under the other window. That bench holds my plants. I have other awkward spaces in my home that I would love to add a bench, but my husband would kill me if I got another. I can overdo things when I like something. Like bunnies and pumpkins. lol
🐰
Do you have something that you can’t resist to buy?

Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vigne Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vignette. I told you that I’m trying to squeeze them all in.
🐰
Let me tell you, I must have taken a bazillion photos of this vignette. I moved it all over my house. I have the worse time photographing greens and yellows together. I have the same issue with sunflowers too.
🐰
I was inspired by this vignette by the cute little Fresh Dyed Eggs sign from my friend Brantley @thesassyoak. I love the little sign so much. She makes the cutest little signs.
🐰
I had fun putting together the shallow pot with moss and the birds nest. I added my little daffodils to it to look like they are popping out of the pot.
🐰
Is there something you try to photograph that gives you a hard time?

Happy Monday!! I can’t believe next weekend is E Happy Monday!! I can’t believe next weekend is Easter, so you know what that means? I need to get in as many bunny pictures as I possibly can.
🐰
Who am I kidding? You’ll probably get a lot more bunnies in the coming weeks. In all actuality, I keep most of my bunny decor up all year, unless it screams Easter.
🐰
This weekend was a busy one for me. The first real warm weekend we’ve had all year, so I spent a lot of time working the garden. I’m actually kind of sore, which is a good thing. Nothing like the sun shining, warm air and playing in the dirt. My favorite thing.
🐰
What do you look most forward to when the weather warms up?
