GRILLED SAUSAGE AND PEPPER FOIL PACKETS



Grilled Sausage and Pepper Foil Packets image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage links (4 to 6 links)
2 red and/or green bell peppers, sliced (about 2 cups)
1 large onion, sliced (about 3 cups)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Serving suggestion: crusty bread or garlic bread

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat a grill over medium-high heat. Lay two 18-inch-long sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil on a flat surface.
  • 2. Cut a long slit in each sausage about two-thirds of the way through and flatten gently so it opens like a book. Divide the sausages between the 2 pieces of foil. Toss the peppers and onions with the oil, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and put on top of the sausages.
  • 3. Bringing the short sides of the foil together, fold the seams together twice and then tuck the ends in and up to seal. Put the foil packets on the grill and grill, 17 to 20 minutes. Open the foil, being careful of steam; the sausages will be charred and have grill marks on the bottom and the vegetables will be tender. If not, just throw the packets back on the grill, unsealed, for a few more minutes until done.
  • 4. Divide among 4 plates and serve with crusty bread or garlic bread.

Tips:

  • Choose sweet potatoes that are about the same size so that they cook evenly.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork before wrapping them in foil. This will help them cook faster and more evenly.
  • Add a little bit of olive oil to the foil packets before sealing them. This will help to keep the vegetables moist and prevent them from sticking to the foil.
  • Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices before sealing the foil packets.
  • Cook the foil packets over medium heat for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Carefully open the foil packets and serve the vegetables immediately.

Conclusion:

Grilled sweet potato and pepper foil packs are a quick, easy, and healthy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. The vegetables are cooked to perfection in the foil packets, and they are packed with flavor. This recipe is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. Serve the foil packets with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, or with a side of your favorite dipping sauce.
