Ingredients
  

1 medium zucchini, sliced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup mushrooms, quartered

1 red onion, sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (basil, oregano, thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

Aluminum foil (for wrapping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

    Mix the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and red onion.

      Season the Veggies: Drizzle olive oil over the vegetable mixture, followed by the minced garlic, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.

        Create Foil Packets: Cut large sheets of aluminum foil (about 12x12 inches) and place an equal portion of the vegetable mixture in the center of each sheet. Fold the edges of the foil over to create tightly closed packets, ensuring no steam escapes.

          Grill the Packets: Place the foil packets on the preheated grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the veggies are tender and slightly charred.

            Serve: Carefully open the packets (watch out for hot steam), and serve the grilled veggies as a side dish or toss them into salads or wraps for added flavor.
