    Tofu and veggies in foil pockets on the grill

    July 5, 2021 by Sophie Leave a Comment

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    It’s officially too hot to turn the oven on, which for my family means that it’s barbeque season!  If I can figure out a way to throw dinner onto the grill rather than heat up my kitchen, that’s how it’s getting cooked.  That’s why I love these grilled tofu and veggies in foil packets.  It’s a full meal, complete with protein, starch, and veggies, all in one neat little package.  And there’s little to no clean-up!

    Tofu and Veggies in a foil pockets open

    You can prepare these up to a day in advance so that they’re ready to be grilled, making them a great option for entertaining.  Although I really like the convenience of cooking these on the grill, you can also cook them in the oven.  If you’re feeling bohemian, you can eat dinner directly out of the packet, meaning you won’t even have to do dishes!

    The Ingredients

    all the ingredients you need to make the recipe

    To make the tofu and veggies in foil pockets I use zucchini, potatoes, onions, bell peppers, and green beans, but you can use whatever vegetables are in season.  For firmer veggies like carrots, cut them into smaller pieces so that they will have a chance to soften during cooking.

    The preparation

    pocket foil closed ready to go on the grill

    Start by cutting a double layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil.  Don’t use the thin foil, otherwise the contents of your packet may end up on the bottom of your barbeque.  Pile your veggies, potatoes, and tofu in the middle of the foil, drizzle on some olive oil, and season with an Asian spice mix to taste. 

    Here comes the best part.  Place the packets on the grill on medium-high for about 10 minutes.  Because the food is contained in the foil, you won’t even have to clean your grill when they’re done.  Once the packets are cooked through, remove them from the heat.

    When you’re ready to serve, drizzle on a tablespoon of the dressing of your choice.  I like to use siracha sauce for a bit of a kick, but ranch dressing also works really well.  Or, leave them completely plain – they are fully customizable.

    FAQS

    Do I have to seal proof the packets?

    Yes, you want to keep the steam inside your papillotes for a more even cooking.
