Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 medium yellow squash
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium red onion
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese (optional)
- 4 sheets aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the zucchini and yellow squash into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Core and seed the bell peppers, then slice them into thin strips. Peel the red onion and cut it into thin wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, yellow squash, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, then sprinkle them with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss until all the vegetables are evenly coated.
Tear off four large sheets of aluminum foil, each about 12 inches long. Divide the vegetable mixture evenly between the sheets, placing the vegetables in the center of each sheet.
If desired, sprinkle parmesan cheese on top of the vegetables for a touch of savory flavor.
Fold the foil over the vegetables, crimping the edges to seal them tightly into packets. Be sure the packet is sealed completely to trap steam inside during cooking.
Place the foil packets on the grill grates or a baking sheet if using the oven. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and cooked through.
Carefully remove the packets from the grill or oven using tongs, as they will be hot. Allow them to cool for a minute or two before opening, as steam will escape.
Serve the vegetables directly from the foil packets or transfer them to a plate. Enjoy as a side dish or light vegetarian main course.
