Equipment

  • Grill
  • heavy-duty aluminum foil
  • Large bowl
  • Small bowl

Ingredients
  

Vegetables

  • 2 ears corn husked and cut into 2-inch rounds
  • ¾ lb potatoes cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 carrots sliced into ½-inch thick coins
  • 1 zucchini sliced into ¾-inch half moons
  • 1 large red onion cut into 1-inch wedges
  • 4 cloves garlic smashed

Butter Mixture

  • 6 tablespoons butter I prefer Kerrygold unsalted butter for this
  • 2 tablespoons mustard I use Grey Poupon Dijon for a sharp kick
  • ½ teaspoon thyme freshly stripped leaves
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by preparing all your vegetables: husk and cut the corn into 2-inch rounds, cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes, slice carrots into ½-inch coins, slice zucchini into ¾-inch half moons, and cut the red onion into 1-inch wedges.
  • In a small bowl, combine the butter, mustard, smashed garlic cloves, thyme, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

Combining Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, combine all the prepared vegetables: corn, potatoes, carrots, zucchini, and onion. Pour the seasoned butter mixture over the vegetables and toss everything together until all pieces are evenly coated.

Packing and Grilling

  • Tear off four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 12x18 inches each). Divide the coated vegetable mixture evenly among the four sheets, placing it in the center of each piece. Fold the foil over the vegetables and crimp the edges tightly to create sealed packets.
  • Heat your grill to medium heat (around 375-400°F). Carefully place all four foil packets on the grill grates with the seam side facing up.
  • Grill for 25-35 minutes, depending on how hot your grill runs and the size of your vegetable pieces.

Serving

  • Carefully remove the hot foil packets from the grill using tongs or heat-resistant gloves. Place each packet on a plate or serving board and open by carefully peeling back the foil away from you to avoid steam burns.
  • Serve immediately while everything is hot and steaming.

Notes

Drizzle any accumulated juices from the foil back over the vegetables for extra flavor.
