Tin-foil Vegetables

Hmmm, perhaps that's not the most appetizing name. But don't worry, they don't taste like tin-foil.

The weather has been BEAUTIFUL lately. And I'm not talking beautiful for Mid-March... I'm talking beautiful for ANY time of year! Sunny and 70, this weekend seemed like a perfect time to grill.

In the refridgerator I found two yummy veggies that needed to be used up: zucchini and red peppers. So I sliced them up (the zucchini got the fancy treatment using this guy) and added a little sliced onion too. I made a small tin-foil boat and placed them all in it.

Then I drizzled a little extra virgin olive oil on top and pressed one garlic clove into the mix. On top I gave a few shakes of Italian seasoning for additonal flavor. I added another piece of tin foil over top and crunched the edges so that it was sealed tightly.

Now turn on your grill and time with out with whatever else you have cooking. The vegetables only took about 5-7 minutes to cook through so plan accordingly. But look at how fabulous they are when they're done!

Drew walked into the kitchen and wanted to know what smelled so good. I've never seen him that excited about vegetables before! Did I mention he cleaned his plate?? ;)
