Instructions

Step 1
Oil the grates of an outdoor grill and heat it to medium-high heat.

Step 2
In a large bowl mix together the spices, oil, salt and pepper. Toss the green beans into the bowl and mix well, tossing to coat all the beans in the mixture.

Step 3
Set a wire rack or grill basket on the preheated grates (or carefully place the beans directly on the grates in a single layer, being careful not to let them fall through) and grill the beans until lightly charred, flipping once or twice while cooking, about 10 minutes. Remove the beans from the grill and place them back in the bowl that you mixed the oil/spice mixture. Lightly toss the beans and sprinkle them with the roasted almonds.

Step 4
Whisk together all the ingredients for the yogurt sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 5
Serve the beans on a platter with the yogurt sauce and enjoy.
