Veggies on the Grill

I love summertime! I especially love all the fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as being able to use the grill everyday, instead of heating up the house by using the oven. Our favorite thing to cook on the grill, besides meat, is fresh veggies!! We usually do potatoes, carrots, onion, and green & red peppers. We also like to throw in some asparagus, sweet potatoes, squash, or zucchini.

Slice all veggies evenly.
Place on foil. (I make my own foil bag.)

We sprinkle Mrs. Dash over our veggies. You can also just do salt and pepper, or any other seasonings of your choice.
Add a few tablespoons of butter.
Close up your bag, making sure there are no holes for the juices to escape.
Place on grill. We set our grill between low and medium and flip the bag every 10-15 minutes. We let it cook a total of 40-45 minutes, depending on how full we have the bag.
 (And yes! It was raining..and I was grilling brats and veggies!! We need a covered porch..but for now, grilling in the rain works!)

Voila!! Finished product! I was barely able to snap this picture before the rest of the veggies were devoured! We love veggies like this..it's definitely a perk of summer. However, you can do this same thing in the oven..but I'd make sure you put the foil bag on a baking sheet, just in case it leaks juices.
