Ingredients

• 2 medium Zucchini
• 2 medium Bell peppers (any color)
• 1 large Red onion
• 1 cup Baby carrots
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 sheets Aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F).

Step 2

Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly.

Step 3

Slice the zucchini into rounds about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 4

Core and dice the bell peppers into bite-sized pieces.

Step 5

Peel and cut the red onion into thick slices, then separate into rings.

Step 6

If the baby carrots are thick, halve them lengthwise to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, bell peppers, onion slices, baby carrots, and cherry tomatoes.

Step 8

Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and toss to coat them evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables and toss again to distribute the seasonings.

Step 10

Tear 4 large sheets of aluminum foil (about 12x18 inches each).

Step 11

Evenly divide the vegetable mixture onto the center of each foil sheet.

Step 12

Fold the sides of each sheet up and over the vegetables to create a sealed packet, making sure the edges are tightly crimped to prevent leakage.

Step 13

Place the packets on the preheated grill, seam-side up.

Step 14

Close the grill lid and cook for 15–20 minutes, flipping the packets halfway through, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 15

Carefully remove the packets from the grill using tongs and let them rest for a minute before opening to release steam safely.

Step 16

Serve the vegetable packets as a side dish or as a main course with grilled protein or bread.
