Ingredients and Variations
Foil packets are a great way to use up leftover veggies! In a pinch for time? Toss in your favorite frozen vegetable medley. Either thaw first or add minutes to the cooking times for frozen.
Potatoes: Russets, fingerlings, and baby red potatoes are all excellent choices! Be sure to cut them to the same size as the other ingredients so they cook at the same rate. Don’t forget, sweet potatoes can be used in nearly any potato recipe!
Carrots: Cut carrots into coins or diagonally for more visual appeal. Zucchini, mushrooms, red onions, and sliced wheels of corn on the cob will work, too!
Cabbage: Cut cabbage into chunks so that it stays whole. Broccoli and cauliflower florets are also great for bulking up veggie foil packs!
Seasonings: A little butter (or other fat like oil or leftover bacon grease) is needed to keep the veggies from drying out. Infuse flavor into your veggie packets by adding a bit of seasoning. Try this chili or jerk seasoning, a brisket or pork rub is delicious, and even this Italian dressing mix creates an awesome foil packet variation.
Variations: Mushroom soup can be added to the packets before sealing and it will bake into a savory sauce! Why not add a bit of protein with some cooked bacon or sausage pieces. Diced bell peppers and mushrooms are delicious additions as well.
