Categories     Healthy Bell Pepper Side Dish Recipes

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound asparagus, trimmed and diagonally cut into 2-inch pieces
1 pound sweet mini peppers, stemmed, seeded and halved lengthwise
2 medium zucchini, diagonally cut into 1/2-inch half-moons
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat a gas grill to medium-high (400-450 degrees F). (Or, for a charcoal grill, build a fire with coals in the bottom center of the grill and let it burn down to medium-high heat, about 400-450 degrees F.)
  • Toss asparagus, mini peppers, zucchini, oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl until evenly coated. Divide the mixture evenly among 6 sheets of foil. Working with 1 foil sheet at a time, bring up 2 sides of the foil to meet in the center. Create a tight 1/2-inch fold to seal. Fold over 1 more time, making sure to leave space in the packet between the vegetables and the foil. Fold the other sides of the foil in, creating a sealed foil rectangle.
  • Place the foil packets, sealed-side up, on the grill rack; grill, covered, for 4 minutes. Flip the packets; grill until the vegetables are tender, about 4 minutes more. Remove from the grill.
  • Stir butter, parsley and chives together in a small bowl. Carefully open the foil packets. Place 1 teaspoon butter mixture in each packet; reseal the packets and let stand until the butter melts, about 1 minute.

barbecue sauce
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut in half-inch strips
1 green pepper, sliced in rings
1 red pepper, sliced in rings

  • Divide the chicken slices among the four sheets atop the barbecue sauce. Add the peppers, potatoes and any other vegetables. Drizzle another tablespoon of barbecue sauce over top.
  • In half-inch pleats, fold the foil over itself first lengthwise and then crosswise to create tightly sealed packets. Note: Don't wrap the packets so tightly that the contents might poke holes in the foil.
  • Place on a baking sheet and bake for 50 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. Carefully cut open the packets. Note: Opening the hot, steam-filled packets is a job best left to adults.

TIN FOIL VEGGIES



Tin Foil Veggies image

For 10 months and up, also great for adults. I found this recipe on a website for making baby food. You can bake it in the oven or throw it on the grill. It is very versatile, you can use whatever veggies and seasonings that you like. I usually use green beans, peas, carrots, and corn. I've never measured when making this so it is all approximate. Very good with burgers and hot dogs. My toddler and I love this. **For the spices, just use whatever you wish, to equal about 1 Tbsp., you can adjust it from there if you wish.
