One of the most charming aspects of cooking with foil packets is the convenience they offer. This method allows you to prepare a meal that’s not only packed with flavor but also involves minimal cleanup. With everything neatly contained in individual packets, you can simply toss them on the grill and enjoy the company of your loved ones without being tied to the kitchen.

Ingredients
  

4 Italian sausages (chicken, turkey, or pork)

2 bell peppers (red and yellow), cut into strips

1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds

1 medium red onion, sliced into wedges

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large pieces of aluminum foil (about 12x12 inches)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).

    Prepare the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausages for about 5-7 minutes until they are browned on the outside but not fully cooked through. This will help them develop flavor before they are grilled with the veggies.

      Mix the Veggies: In a large bowl, combine the bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil, add minced garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat all the vegetables evenly.

        Create the Packets: Lay a piece of aluminum foil on a flat surface. Place a portion of the veggie mixture in the center, and then top it with one sausage. Fold up the sides of the foil to create a closed packet, ensuring it's sealed tightly to hold in steam and flavor. Repeat for the remaining ingredients.

          Grill the Packets: Place the foil packets directly on the grill. Cook for about 15-20 minutes. Turn the packets halfway through to ensure even cooking. The sausages should be cooked through and the vegetables should be tender.

            Serve: Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam!). Transfer to serving plates, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve hot. Enjoy your grilled sausage veggie packets!
