Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound baby potatoes (halved)
- 1 cup baby carrots
- 1 piece red bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 piece onion (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 large sheets aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375–400°F).
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly over the pork chops and set them aside.
In a separate bowl, toss the baby potatoes, baby carrots, red bell pepper, and onion with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Prepare 4 large sheets of aluminum foil, approximately 12x18 inches each.
Place a pork chop in the center of each aluminum foil sheet, and then evenly distribute the seasoned vegetables around the pork chops.
Fold the sides of the foil upward and crimp the edges together to create a sealed packet, ensuring no steam will escape during cooking.
Place the foil packets on the preheated grill and close the lid. Cook for 20–25 minutes, flipping the packets once halfway through, until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F and the vegetables are tender.
Carefully remove the packets from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before opening. Be cautious of hot steam when unsealing the foil.
Garnish the pork chops and vegetables with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
