I love grilled or roasted vegetables and this is such an easy way to make use of whatever vegetables I have in my kitchen. Right now I have corn, carrots, mushrooms, and potatoes so I just mix them all together in a bowl and add in some melted butter (or olive oil if you’re conscious about the fat), oregano, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. If I had fresh garlic, I would add them too. Roasted garlic tastes amazing!
Spoon vegetables in 2 foil sheets. Fold foil over vegetables and seal the edges, allowing a bit of space on the sides for circulation and heat expansion. You can oven roast or grill the vegetable foil packets. Note that cooking time may vary depending on the type and amount of vegetables you use per packet.
