Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For this recipe, small, firm potatoes like baby potatoes or red potatoes work best. They cook evenly and hold their shape well.
  • Prep the potatoes and asparagus: To save time, wash and trim the asparagus ahead of time. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • Use fresh herbs and seasonings: The combination of garlic, thyme, and lemon zest adds a bright and flavorful touch to this dish. You can also add other herbs and spices of your choice, such as rosemary, oregano, or paprika.
  • Don't overcrowd the foil packs: Make sure to leave enough space in each foil pack for the vegetables to cook evenly. If the packs are too crowded, the vegetables will steam instead of grill.
  • Cook the foil packs over medium heat: Medium heat is ideal for this recipe, as it allows the vegetables to cook through without burning. If the heat is too high, the vegetables may burn on the outside before they are cooked through.
  • Serve immediately: For the best flavor and texture, serve the grilled potato and asparagus foil packs immediately after cooking. You can garnish them with additional herbs, lemon wedges, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Grilled potato and asparagus foil packs are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy these seasonal vegetables. They are easy to prepare and can be cooked on a grill or in the oven. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your foil packs come out perfectly every time. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish or main course, give grilled potato and asparagus foil packs a try.
