After busy summer weekends, we like a fresh start on our Monday’s with healthy veggie packets. When you heat the vegetables in foil packets they release their natural juices and the heat also helps to caramelize them. This is hardly a recipe, really just a starting point for you to create a delicious dish of your own. Slice up your favorite veggies, top with goat cheese (or feta), a few garden herbs and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap up in foil, place on a hot grill and cook for 15-20 minutes. A perfect accompaniment to grilled faire. We serve the veggies on quinoa and for additional flavor we sometimes top with cooked, crumbled, mild Italian sausage.
Veggies in Foil Packets
Combination of vegetables. Red peppers. yellow peppers, orange peppers, onions, sliced portabellas, sliced garlic, drizzle of olive oil, crumbled goat cheese, rosemary and or thyme, salt and pepper.
On a large sheet of foil (sprayed with cooking oil) place all of the above and tightly close. On a medium grill heat for 15-20 minutes until desired doneness.
Be careful for steam when you open the packets. Serve on quinoa or brown rice.
