Ingredients
  

1 pound smoked sausage, cut into ½-inch rounds

2 medium zucchinis, diced into bite-sized pieces

1 bell pepper (any color of your choice), chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Aluminum foil for wrapping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Foil: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. While it's heating up, cut four large sheets of aluminum foil, each measuring about 12x18 inches in size.

    Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced smoked sausage, diced zucchini, chopped bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, and corn kernels. Drizzle the mixture with olive oil, followed by the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the ingredients thoroughly until everything is well-coated with the oil and seasonings.

      Assemble the Packs: Evenly divide the sausage and vegetable mixture among the four sheets of foil. To create a boat shape, fold up the edges of the foil to help keep the ingredients contained and prevent juices from leaking out during cooking.

        Seal the Packs: Carefully fold the foil over the filling, pinching the edges tightly to create a secure seal. This will trap steam inside, ensuring even cooking and keeping the flavors locked in.

          Grill the Packs: Place the foil packs directly on the grill grates. Cook for approximately 15-20 minutes, turning the packs halfway through the cooking time. The sausages should be heated through, and the vegetables should become tender.

            Serve: Once cooked, carefully open the foil packs—be cautious of the hot steam escaping! Garnish the contents with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor. You can enjoy the dish straight from the foil packs or transfer the delicious mixture onto plates for serving.
