    It’s officially too hot to turn the oven on, which for my family means that it’s BBQ season! If I can figure out a way to throw a complete meal onto the grill rather than heat up my kitchen, that’s how it’s getting cooked. That’s why I love these Grilled Veggie foil packets.

    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 the dishes!

    The Ingredients

    all the ingredients you need to make the recipe: green bean, tofu, potatoes, spices, onion, oil, zucchini, bell pepper.

    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.

    You can also use any vegetables that you have on hand, If you are looking for a meatless option, these Grilled veggie foil packets are a great choice. You can also add in some grilled chicken or shrimp if you’d like. Either way, they make a tasty and easy meal that the whole family will love. So fire up the grill!

    Zucchini: I use a zucchini but you can also use a yellow squash

    Onion: I prefer red onion, but you can use any type of onion that you like

    Green bean: you can also use asparagus, broccoli, or any other type of vegetable that you like

    Firm tofu use firm or extra firm tofu that has been pressed of excess water

    Asian spices: you can also use cajun, Mexican, or Italian seasonings. This spice mix can be found in the spice aisle of your grocery store.

    Step-by-step preparation with photos

    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 barbecue.  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

    How do I store the Veggies foil packets?

    If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. Reheat on the stove over medium heat until warmed through.

    Can I make this recipe in advance?

    You can definitely make these packets in advance. Assemble them up to a day ahead of time and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to cook. Whether you are cooking for one or feeding a crowd, these Veggie foil packets are a great option. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your liking.

    • Here are a few tips and variations to help you make the perfect Veggies foil packets:
