Smoked Green Beans are a simple side dish recipe that are perfect to make at the same time on my Traeger pellet grill as chicken or pork.

I made these green beans along with Smoked BBQ Chicken Thighs, same time and same temperature for a complete meal:)

Bringing both dishes extra flavor and bonus points for making your life a little easier doing all at once.

How to Make Smoked Green Beans

The first step is trimming a pound of fresh green beans.

Then cut them in half, or for the longer beans into thirds.

And place them in a cast iron skillet or foil pan.

Then add a small, finely diced onion.

And 6 tablespoons butter, garlic, seasoning blend of choice, 1/4 cup water, kosher salt, and pepper.

I am using a cajun seasoning blend, but a BBQ seasoning or Old Bay would work great too.

Set the smoker or Traeger pellet grill to 250 degrees.

And set the pan on the grill grate for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

This happened to be the same time and temperature as the chicken thighs 🙂

Pretty nice to set a complete dinner on the smoker and know it will be ready at the same time.

Smoked Green Beans are a definite do again very soon, and all the kids ate their veggies with no complaints 🙂

I may play around with different flavors to add to this simple side dish.
