chinese long bean

Grilled cheese? Yes, please. But not that kind. We’re talking creamy-charred paneer with grilled green beans—a perfect vegetarian side for your next cookout.

Cheesy Charred Green Beans

Tbsp. Diamond Crystal or 1¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt

garlic powder

onion powder

paprika

cumin

cayenne pepper

sugar

lemon

extra-virgin olive oil, divided

lb. beans

6-oz. slabs paneer

pistachios

Paneer holds up well to the high heat of the grill, forming a charred layer on the outside and staying perfectly soft on the inside without oozing through the grate—another reason why it is so popular in tandoor cooking. —Rachel Gurjar

Mix salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, cayenne, and sugar in a small bowl to combine.
Do ahead: Spice rub can be made 1 month ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

Whisk lemon juice, 1 Tbsp. oil, and 1 Tbsp. spice rub in a large bowl to combine. Set dressing aside.

Place beans in a large bowl, drizzle 2 Tbsp. oil over, and toss to coat. Sprinkle with 1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. spice rub and toss again to coat.

Place paneer on a plate, drizzle with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil, and rub all over with your hands to coat. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp. spice rub over paneer and gently toss to coat evenly.

Prepare a grill for medium heat. Grill paneer, turning halfway through, until grill marks are golden brown, 6–8 minutes total. Using a metal spatula, transfer to a cutting board and slice ¼" thick with a serrated knife. Transfer paneer to a platter.

Place a small grilling rack on grate and heat 5 minutes. Arrange beans in a single layer on rack and grill, turning occasionally, until tender and blistered in spots, about 3 minutes per side for runner beans and about 5 minutes for Chinese long beans. Transfer beans to platter with paneer.

Drizzle beans and paneer with reserved dressing; top with pistachios.
