Grilled Vegetable Packets
"This is a wonderful way to do veggies, they are so good prepared this way on the grill. You can make these packets up hours in advance, and keep the foil packets in the fridge, just grill them when ready!"

Made as directed except I used yellow squash instead of zucchini and dried parsley. This was very good! -
I like that it can be prepared in advance and then grilled when ready. A wonderful way to eat veggies! During summer harvest of fresh veggies, I need to make this a weekly (or more) recipe for us. -
This was so simple but very tasty, even my boyfriend loved it and that doesn't happen often. I added some diced potato to it and used half olive oil and half butter. Thanks a lot! -
Simply delicious. We used Cavenders' Greek Seasoning in place of the spices. Easy clean-up, too!

This side dish couldn't have been easier to whip up. Just back from a Girl's Weekend and this was the veggie dish for last night's dinner. It got rave reviews and we made a lovely frittata with the leftovers. Everyone asked for the recipe. No lemon pepper so I squeezed the juice of half a lemon over the mixture and we all loved it.

Perfect as a side to any grilled entree! Since you can easily substitute other veggies, its very flexible enabling you to clear out the crisper. I used yellow pepper instead of green, leek instead of onion, frozen corn - also added a couple of asparagus spears. I was very liberal with the lemon pepper, tossed with 1 tbsp olive oil but added 1 tbsp butter to the packet. After 15 mins on the grill, they were tender/crisp. Thanx Kitten for another repeater!
