Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Yellow squash
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 cup Baby carrots
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Aluminum foil sheets
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F).
Wash all vegetables thoroughly.
Slice the zucchini and yellow squash into thin rounds.
Core and seed the red bell pepper, then cut it into thin strips.
Peel the red onion and slice it into thin wedges.
If the baby carrots are large, cut them into halves lengthwise for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, red onion, and baby carrots.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss until all vegetables are evenly coated.
Lay out four large sheets of aluminum foil on a flat surface.
Divide the vegetable mixture evenly across the four foil sheets, placing the vegetables in the center of each sheet.
Fold the sides of each foil sheet up and over the vegetables, then crimp the edges together to seal the packets completely. Leave some room inside each packet for heat circulation.
Place the foil packets directly onto the preheated grill grates.
Grill the packets for 18-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Carefully remove the packets from the grill and let them cool for 2-3 minutes before opening (beware of hot steam when opening).
Serve the foil packet veggies hot as a flavorful and healthy side dish.
