  • 2 tbsp. fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp. toasted sesame oil
  • 4 tsp. fish sauce
  • 2 tsp. agave nectar
  • 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  1. Heat grill to high. Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl; stir with a whisk. Set aside.

  2. Toss beans with 1 tbsp. canola oil in a large bowl. Brush onion rings with remaining 1 tbsp. oil. Grill, turning occasionally, until veggies are tender and charred in spots, about 8 minutes.
