Foil Steamed Spring Veggies Recipes

BAKED FISH-IN-FOIL WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 400F degrees.

• In a small glass bowl whisk the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Set aside
• Cut 8 pieces of aluminum foil that is big enough to accomodate the fish and vegetable.
• Place one piece of foil on the counter/ work surface. On the first layer add 5-6 asparagus spears. On top of the asparagus place 6 zucchini rounds. Place the fish on top of the zucchini. Top the fish with 2-3 cherry tomatoes, whole or halved.
• Season each fish and vegetable packet with garlic oregano oil.
• Top the fish with a second piece of foil. Fold both bottom and top foil pieces together tightly.
• Place the fish packets on a sheet pan and bake for 18-20 minutes.
• Carefully open fish packets away from your face, as it will release lots of hot steam.
• Completely remove the top foil. You can either serve the fish in foil packets or slide the fish and vegetables onto a plate. Add a lemon slice and fresh cilantro to each packet

FOIL WRAPPED VEGGIES

Steps:

• Preheat grill for high heat.
• In a large bowl, combine the new potatoes, sweet potato, Vidalia onions, green beans, rosemary, and thyme. Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper to coat.
• Using 2 to 3 layers of foil, create desired number of foil packets. Brush inside surfaces of packets liberally with remaining olive oil. Distribute vegetable mixture evenly among the packets. Seal tightly.
• Place packets on the preheated grill. Cook 30 minutes, turning once, or until potatoes are tender.

STEAMED VEGGIE BUNDLES

Steps:

• Divide vegetables between two pieces of double thickness heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. square). Fold foil around vegetables and seal tightly. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 10-13 minutes on each side or until vegetables are tender. , Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. With a slotted spoon, remove vegetables to a serving dish. Combine the salad dressings; drizzle over vegetables and toss to coat.

FOIL-PACKET-STEAMED GINGER SESAME VEGETABLES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Trim any broccoli florets that are larger than 2 1/2-inches in diameter so all the pieces are all 2 to 2 1/2 inches in size (so they cook at the same rate). Toss the broccoli, edamame and carrots with 2 tablespoons of the Lemon Ginger Oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl.
• 2. Spread an 18-inch-long piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a cutting board or work surface and spread the vegetables in the middle. Pour 2 tablespoons water over the vegetables and then bring two of the sides of foil up and together and fold over twice to seal. Bring the other two sides up and in, crimping to seal.
• 3. Put the foil packet on a rimmed baking sheet and bake 25 minutes. Carefully open the foil packet, as it will be very steamy, and toss the vegetables with any of the accumulated juices and oil in the bottom of the foil packet. The vegetables should be crisp tender with a few pieces a little more cooked, but if any vegetables seem raw, reseal the package and bake an additional 5 minutes.
• 4. Spoon the steamed vegetables and juices into a serving bowl. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and sliced scallion. Drizzle with an extra tablespoon of the lemon ginger oil if desired.
• Combine both of the oils, the lemon zest, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes, if using, in a medium pot. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat until small bubbles form around the edges and the oil becomes fragrant, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, cool completely and then strain, pressing on the solids to release all the flavored oil. You will not need all the oil for this recipe. Store the extra oil in a small jar or resealable plastic container in the refrigerator and use within one week. Before using, let stand at room temperature for at least 5 minutes.
