GARLIC HERB SAUSAGE AND VEGGIE FOIL PACKS

INGREDIENTS:

16 oz. baby red potatoes
12 oz. fully cooked smoked turkey sausage, cut into slices about 1/4-inch thick
12 oz. green beans or yellow beans, ends trimmed (I used a blend of both)
8 oz. baby carrots, thicker ones halved through the length
1 small yellow onion, halved and sliced
4 tsp minced garlic (4 cloves)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Grated parmesan, for serving (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place red potatoes on a large plate and microwave for 3 minutes, turning once halfway through. Once cool enough to handle cut into quarters.

Add potatoes, sausage, beans, carrots, onions and garlic to a large mixing bowl. Add in olive oil, Italian seasoning and season with a fair amount of salt and pepper to taste.

Cut 4 pieces of 16 by 12-inch heavy duty aluminium foil. Lay each piece separately on a flat surface. Divide sausage mixture evenly among sheets of foil, creating a somewhat rectangular shape with the mixture.

Wrap sides of foil in then fold 2 times to seal while leaving room for heat to circulate, then wrap ends up folding twice to seal.

Lay foil packs side by side on a 18 by 13-inch baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until veggies are tender, about 35 – 40 minutes. Carefully open packets (they’ll steam!). Sprinkle with parmesan and parsley. Serve warm.

Enjoy,
