Delicious individual portions of seasonal vegetables lightly wrapped in butter and dill. Delicious on the grill or in the oven!
One of our favorite ways to prepare fresh vegetables when we are camping is to make these little individual foil packets. You can even make them up before you go and cook them whenever you want!
Completely customizable to on-hand vegetables (our choices are just suggestions) they are just the right size and perfectly seasoned and delicious.
How to Make Dilly Vegetable Foil Packets
One of our favorite fresh vegetable recipes (and also one of our favorite camping timesavers) are Dilly Vegetable Foil Packets. Easily assembled and transportable, they cook up on the grill alongside whatever else we’re cooking.
Simple and delicious, these are just fresh veggies, fresh dill, salt & pepper and butter. The combination, all cooked together in a nice little foil packet melds the flavors perfectly!
Preparing the vegetables is the most time consuming part of these packets, but also allows you the freedom to choose what to put into them. We almost always use potatoes, celery and onion but anything that you like can be added.
You’ll want to make sure that the more dense vegetables (like the potatoes and carrots) are cut into bite sized pieces so they don’t take forever to cook.
Once you have the vegetables cut and ready, start the grill or preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Cut four even foil sheets, about 12×18 inches each, and lay out on a flat surface. Divide all of the vegetables evenly between the four foil sheets, placing in the middle of each sheet.
Top each with two sprigs of fresh dill, a tablespoon pat of butter and salt and pepper to taste.
Fold the foil up on the long sides first and seal together, then seal each of the ends, creating a packet.
Cook on the grill or in your oven until the potatoes are tender, usually around 30-40 minutes.
Serve immediately. Enjoy!
