3-Ingredient Charred Green Beans with Ricotta and Lemon

from epicurious.com

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed
  • 2 cups whole-milk ricotta
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    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.
