Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 sheets (12-inch squares) Aluminum foil
- 4 sticks Mozzarella string cheese
- 16 pieces Frozen mini meatballs
- 8 ounces Baby potatoes, halved
- 4 ounces Carrots, peeled and sliced into coins
- 1 medium Zucchini, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your campfire, grill, or oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lay out the 12-inch squares of aluminum foil on a flat surface.
In a large mixing bowl, combine halved baby potatoes, carrot coins, zucchini slices, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Place 4 mini meatballs in the center of each foil square.
Divide the vegetable mixture evenly among the foil packets, placing the vegetables on top of the meatballs.
Cut each mozzarella string cheese stick into 4 pieces and distribute evenly among the foil packets, nestling the cheese pieces on top of the vegetables.
Fold the foil around the ingredients to form a sealed packet, making sure to crimp the edges tightly to prevent leaking.
Place the foil packets on the campfire grate, over the grill, or onto a baking sheet for oven use.
Cook for 25 minutes, flipping the packets halfway through to ensure even cooking. Be cautious of escaping steam when flipping.
Carefully open one packet to check if the potatoes are fork-tender. If not, reseal and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Once cooked through, remove from heat and let the packets rest for 2 minutes before carefully opening them.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve directly from the foil for an easy, rustic meal!
