Ingredients
- 12 ounces smoked sausage
- 15 ounces red kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 large bell pepper (any color, diced)
- 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 1 medium zucchini (sliced into half-moons)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
- 4 sheets (12x12 inches each) aluminum foil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch rounds. Dice the bell pepper and onion, and slice the zucchini into half-moons.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausage, kidney beans, bell pepper, onion, and zucchini.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together to coat evenly.
Step 5
Lay out the aluminum foil sheets on a flat surface. Divide the sausage and vegetable mixture evenly among the four sheets, placing it in the center of each.
Step 6
Fold up each foil sheet by bringing the edges together and folding them tightly to seal into packets, leaving a little space inside for steam to build up.
Step 7
Place the packets on the preheated grill or a baking sheet if using the oven. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway through if grilling, until the vegetables are tender and sausage is heated through.
Step 8
Carefully open the packets (watch out for steam!). Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
