Allow Us to Foil Your Plans!

Missy McCabe·August 21, 2022
Grilled food cooked in a tin foil pack

Foil pack grilling… we could have this entire post be one sentence that’s simply: “There’s essentially no cleanup.” and that should be reason enough to get you using this method on the grill more often 😂 but, we’ll do you one better. Here are a few ideas that will level up your foil-packed prowess far beyond the limits of the classic sliced potato and onion (which is still a delicious option) combination. Let’s dive in!

Fungi Family

Foil Grilled mushrooms are always a hit. But what if we told you that you could enhance grilled mushrooms by wrapping them in foil and not taking shortcuts on flavor? You can use any combination of mushrooms - but we LOVE a blend of button, cremini, and full-sized portabella mushrooms (fun fact: those are all the SAME type of mushroom - just at different ages - hence the “Fungi Family” name 😉).

Add some seasoning, your cooking oil of choice (plus a healthy supplement of butter), minced garlic, and fresh chopped parsley & rosemary. Poke some holes in the top of your foil once wrapped - cook for about 10 mins on one side, and then flip and finish for a few more minutes. This one is fun-guys, trust us!

Back to Your Roots

There is nothing quite like a root veg foil pack. Many of us fall into the routine of simply tossing some sliced potato and onion on the grill - which is excellent - but it doesn’t take much to bring this to the next level.

Add these to your next root veg foil cookout:

  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Carrot
  • Parsnip
  • Potato/Sweet Potato

Coat everything generously with oil, season to taste, and DON’T skimp on herbs. Dressed up with freshly chopped tarragon, parsley, paprika, and cayenne, this one will be an instant favourite.

Seafood Feed

The seafood boil is an iconic Southern classic. A huge pot of cooking liquid/stock, filled to the brim with an assortment of seafood and veggies. They’re super convenient for large events and get-togethers. If you love the idea of a seafood boil but don’t have a pot the size of a small apartment or a 50-person family, do a foil-pack seafood boil instead!

Add shrimp, crab legs, corn on the cob, baby potato, sausage, diced onion, and minced garlic to a foil pack.

Then, add some butter and cooking oil, salt & pepper, and whatever cajun seasonings you’d like - we recommend Old Bay. Grill the pack for 15 minutes and garnish with fresh lemon juice and parsley to serve.

This is a super low-maintenance and easy way to have a whole lot of fun eating seafood - be sure to try this out.

We certainly hope that your plans are sufficiently FOILED now!! 😂 There’s still plenty of grilling season left, and we hope this has given you a few ideas on how you can take your BBQ prowess up another notch or two!

Happy grilling!
