How to Grill in Foil Packets

METHOD: Direct grilling

How do you grill small pieces of vegetables or seafood without a spit, skewer, or even a grill grate? If you ever belonged to the Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts, you probably remember the solution: grill them in an aluminum foil packet. The packets are a snap to assemble and the foil seals in the flavor and goodness.

The basic procedure is to wrap vegetables in aluminum foil along with herbs and spices and a little liquid. You throw the package on the coals (or on top of the grate). A short time later, you’ll have a dramatically puffed foil vegetable pack that’s bursting with enticing aromas.
