2020 Week 19 Sausage and Veggie Grill packets

Ingredients
Foil Packs

 

Heavy Duty Foil

16 ounces Chicken Sausage, coined

2 cups baby red potatoes, quartered (optional) – I will use cauliflower florets in place of potatoes. 

2 cups green beans, trimmed

1 zucchini, coined

4 cloves minced garlic

4-6 tablespoons unsalted butter

 

Seasonings

2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning

1/2 teaspoon EACH: garlic powder and onion powder Sea Salt and pepper

Optional: fresh parsley, freshly grated Parmesan cheese

 

Instructions

  1. Prepare 4-6 large sheets of HEAVY DUTY foil; lightly spritz with cooking spray.
  2. Prep the ingredients: wash and dry the veggies. Coin the sausage. Slice the baby red potatoes in half and then half again. Trim the green beans.  Slice zucchini into thick coins.

  3. Add the prepped sausage, corn, green beans, potatoes and garlic to a large bowl. Toss with all of the seasonings. Toss until well combined.

  4. Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared sheets of foil (4 sheets of foil for larger portions and 6 for slightly smaller portions) and place 1 tablespoon of butter in each packet or prepared baking pan (separate pats of butter evenly on top). Seal the foil packs tightly so no air escapes, but do not double up foil (only one sheet of foil per pack).

  5. GRILL: Grill for 25-30 minutes or until veggies have reached desired tenderness (flip the foil packs at the halfway point and check for doneness to insure your grill is hot enough). BAKE in foil packs: Bake for 30-40 minutes (at 30 minutes veggies are crisp; 35 is perfect for us; 40 is very tender veggies).
  6. Carefully open the foil pack expecting steam to be released. Garnish if desired with fresh chopped parsley, any additional salt/pepper, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese on the beans, potatoes, and sausage.

  7. Enjoy!
