Grilled Veggie Packets

Courtesy of Finecooking.com

My best friend from college came for a visit this weekend and shared this simple, easy and healthy side for grilled entrees. With little preparation time and few ingredients, it makes a perfect addition to a Saturday grilled meal.

Servings: 3 hefty sides

Ingredients:
6 yukon potatoes
2 cups baby carrots
1 yellow onion
flavored olive oil (we used Tuscan Herb)
3 cloves of garlic, smashed
Salt
Pepper

Tin foil
Olive oil spray

Wash and peel potatoes. Slice thinly. Cut baby carrots into 1/4 inch slices. Chop onion to desired size. Spray one side of 6 same size sheets of tin foil with spray, then place a third of the veggies onto 3 of the sprayed side pieces of foil. (Each person will get their own individual packet of veggies). Toss one clove of smashed garlic on top of each one, and drizzle with the flavored olive oil. Sprinkle with desired amount of salt and pepper. Top the veggies with another piece of foil, sprayed side facing the veggies, and roll up the edges tightly to form a packet (should be about 8 inches x 8 inches).

Grill on medium for 20-25 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes. Stab with a fork to test the hardness of potatoes if needed.

Throw next to a tasty burger on a plate, and eat up!
