Ingredients

• 12 oz smoked sausage (sliced into 1/4-inch rounds)
• 4 medium red potatoes (diced into 1/2-inch cubes)
• 2 large bell peppers (assorted colors, sliced into strips)
• 1 medium zucchini (sliced into 1/4-inch rounds)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 4 sheets parchment-lined or heavy-duty aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Prepare the vegetables by dicing the potatoes, slicing the bell peppers into strips, and cutting the zucchini into rounds. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the sliced smoked sausage to the bowl with the vegetables.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil over the sausage and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until evenly coated.

Step 5

Cut four sheets of foil, each approximately 12x18 inches. If using parchment-lined foil, ensure the parchment side faces up.

Step 6

Divide the sausage and vegetable mixture evenly among the foil sheets, placing it in the center of each sheet.

Step 7

Fold the foil over the mixture, bringing the edges together. Seal the edges tightly to form a packet, ensuring no steam escapes during cooking.

Step 8

Place the foil packets on the preheated grill or on a baking sheet if using the oven. Cook for 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the sausage is heated through.

Step 9

Carefully open the foil packets (beware of hot steam) and serve directly from the packet for easy cleanup. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley before serving.
