Follow numbered steps for authentic taste and perfectionPrepare a grill for medium-high heat (or heat a grill pan over medium-high).
If using a grill, arrange green beans in a grill basket and place on hot grill.
Cover and grill, turning once halfway through, until beans are lightly charred and crisp-tender, about 8 minutes.
If using a grill pan, cook green beans directly on pan, tossing occasionally, until lightly charred, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip ricotta, 3 Tbsp. oil, and 3/4 tsp. salt in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Spread whipped ricotta on a serving platter and arrange charred green beans over.
Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with lemon zest; season with salt and pepper.
Serve with lemon wedges alongside.
