How to Cook Veggies In Foil Packets on the Grill
The best way to make grilled veggies is in these foil packets. They all cook evenly without getting burned. And their flavors meld together perfectly.
To cook veggies on the grill, just follow these easy directions:
- Chop up the veggies.
- Put them inside the foil packet.
- Sprinkle seasoning on them.
- Place on the grill over medium heat.

If you want to keep things simple, just grab an all-purpose seasoning that is pre-mixed. There are a lot of varieties of them from which you can choose.
But if you want to know my favorite, these are the spices I use most on my vegetables:
- Garlic
- Salt
