Ingredients
Red potatoes
6 small (about 3/4 lb) (Unpeeled, cut into 1-1.5 inch pieces (about 2 cups))
Baby carrots
1 cup (Cut in half lengthwise if large)
Butter
2 tablespoons (Melted)
Dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon
Peppered seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon
Fresh parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons (Shredded)
Fresh chives
2 tablespoons (Chopped)
Instructions
1
Preheat your gas or charcoal grill to medium heat. Prepare an 18x12 inch sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
2
In the center of the foil, combine the red potatoes and baby carrots. Drizzle the melted butter over the vegetables to coat them evenly.
3
Sprinkle the dried Italian seasoning, peppered seasoning salt, and shredded Parmesan cheese over the veggies. Gently toss to ensure all the pieces are well coated with the seasonings and cheese.
4
Fold the aluminum foil to create a sealed packet, ensuring to leave some space for air to circulate inside. Make a double fold on the seams to secure the packet tightly.
5
Once the grill is ready, place the foil packet seam-side up on the grill grate, either directly over the heat (for a gas grill) or 4-6 inches above medium coals (for a charcoal grill).
6
Grill for 45-50 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Carefully open the packet to release steam before serving.
7
Garnish the grilled vegetables with chopped fresh chives for an added burst of flavor and freshness before serving.
