Grillin’ Up Some Veggies…

You know how to make these already, right?   If not, it’s super simple and tonight is a PERFECT night to try it…for sure it’s too hot to cook indoors tonight, right?

What you need:

Foil
Olive Oil or Butter
Veggies of your choice (below we used asparagus and zucchini in one and potatoes with garlic scapes in the other)

  1. Preheat grill to medium-hot
  2. Tear off squares of foil around 12″ x 12″ or so…
  3. Rub the oil or butter all over the inside (that’s the shinier side)
  4. Place the veggies in the middle
  5. If you feel like, add a bit more oil/butter plus some salt and pepper
  6. Fold into a package and then double or triple fold the seams
  7. Optional: poke steam holes with a fork in the bundles…or just let ‘em puff up when they cook.
  8. Cooking time varies depending on which veggies you use…potatoes take longer so you may want to slice them.
  9. Once cooked, remove from grill and CAREFULLY open the bundles (a lot of heat will want to rush out…don’t get burned)

ENJOY!
