Tips for a Perfect Grilled Cauliflower, Carrot, and Basil Foil Pack:

  • Choose fresh, firm vegetables: Look for cauliflower and carrots that are tightly packed and free of blemishes. Use fresh basil leaves for the best flavor.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will ensure that they cook evenly. Aim for florets of similar size for the cauliflower and carrot sticks of similar thickness.
  • Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper: This will help them to brown and caramelize on the grill. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, paprika, or cumin, to taste.
  • Wrap the vegetables tightly in foil: This will create a sealed packet that will trap the steam and help the vegetables to cook evenly. Make sure to seal the edges of the foil securely to prevent the juices from leaking out.
  • Grill the foil packs over medium heat for 15-20 minutes: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the vegetables and the heat of your grill. Check the vegetables after 15 minutes to see if they are tender. If they are not, continue to cook for a few more minutes.
  • Let the foil packs rest for a few minutes before opening: This will allow the vegetables to finish cooking and the juices to redistribute.

Conclusion:

Grilled cauliflower, carrot, and basil foil packs are a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for summer cookouts. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. The combination of roasted vegetables, fragrant basil, and tangy balsamic glaze is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're firing up the grill, give this recipe a try!
