For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a clove of minced garlic to each packet. Feel free to substitute other vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or mushrooms. The foil packets can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake. Be careful when opening the packets as steam will escape. Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy it on its own.
