Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet onion
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 sheet (approx. 24 inches) aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F).
Peel and slice the sweet onions into 1/4-inch thick rings.
Core and slice the red and yellow bell peppers into 1/4-inch wide strips.
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Tear off a sheet of aluminum foil approximately 24 inches long and lay it flat on your work surface.
In the center of the foil, pile the sliced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic.
Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar evenly over the vegetables.
Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables.
Using your hands or a spoon, gently toss the vegetables to coat them evenly with the seasoning and oil.
Fold the foil over the vegetables to create a sealed packet, ensuring the edges are tightly crimped to prevent steam from escaping.
Place the foil packet on the preheated grill and cook for 18-20 minutes, flipping once halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Carefully remove the packet from the grill using tongs and allow it to rest for 1-2 minutes before opening (be cautious of the steam).
Serve the sweet onion and pepper mixture as a side dish or topping for grilled meats, salads, or sandwiches.
