Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Vegetables
  • 2 large potatoes, diced Make sure to wash before dicing.
  • 1 medium bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
Seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For Cooking
  • 1 roll Aluminum foil About 12 inches long for each packet.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by washing and dicing your potatoes, bell pepper, onion, and carrots.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, bell pepper, onion, and sliced carrots. Drizzle them with olive oil, and sprinkle in salt and pepper. Toss until well coated.
Creating Packets
  1. Tear off a large piece of aluminum foil (about 12 inches long). Place a generous portion of the veggie mixture in the center of the foil and fold the edges to create a sealed packet.
Cooking
  1. If grilling, cook on medium heat for 20-25 minutes.
  2. If using an oven, preheat to 400°F (200°C) and place the packets directly on the oven rack or a baking sheet, cooking for the same time.
Serving
  1. Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam!) and serve hot. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to swap in seasonal vegetables like zucchini, asparagus, or corn. For extra crispy potatoes, cut into smaller cubes. Ensure packets are sealed to avoid spills and be cautious when opening to prevent burns from steam. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes.
