Recipe View 0 mins Carefully open the foil packet (be cautious of escaping steam) and serve immediately. The vegetables can be served directly from the foil packet or transferred to a serving dish.

For a smoky flavor, add a few wood chips (such as hickory or applewood) to your grill. Soak the wood chips in water for 30 minutes before adding them to the grill.
If you don't have a grill, you can roast the vegetables in the oven. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the foil packet on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the foil packet, such as sliced bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms.
For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter. To make brown butter, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the butter is golden brown and has a nutty aroma.
