Notes

Preheat the grill. A hot grill cooks beans evenly. Aim for about 375° Fahrenheit.
Mix well. Make sure the beans are well coated with oil and seasonings. Every bite should be flavorful.
Layer smart. Start with thyme on the foil. Then add the beans and more thyme. Finish with Parmesan. This gives a balance of flavors.
Seal tight. Close your foil packet well. We want all the flavors and juices to stay inside.
Let them cool. Be careful when opening the packet. Hot steam can burn. Let them cool for a bit before serving.
