📝 Preparation Steps
1
Spice rub
2
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.
3
Beans and assembly
4
Whisk lemon juice, 1 Tbsp. oil, and 1 Tbsp. spice rub in a large bowl to combine. Set dressing aside.
5
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.
6
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.
7
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.
8
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.
9
Drizzle beans and paneer with reserved dressing; top with pistachios.
