3-Ingredient Charred Green Beans with Ricotta and Lemon

Ingredients for 3-Ingredient Charred Green Beans with Ricotta and Lemon

• 675g green beans, trimmed

• 475ml whole-milk ricotta

• 45ml extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

• 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more

• 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

• Freshly ground black pepper

• Lemon wedges (for serving)

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat (or heat a grill pan over medium-high). If using a grill, arrange green beans in a grill basket and place on hot grill. Cover and grill, turning once halfway through, until beans are lightly charred and crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. If using a grill pan, cook green beans directly on pan, tossing occasionally, until lightly charred, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip ricotta, 3 tablespoons oil, and 3/4 teaspoons salt in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Spread whipped ricotta on a serving platter and arrange charred green beans over. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. Serve with lemon wedges alongside.
