Cuisine: Cajun
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) to ensure proper roasting temperature for the vegetables.
- Prepare four large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, approximately 12x18 inches each, and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
- Wash and slice bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms into uniform, thin pieces to ensure even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced vegetables and drizzle with olive oil, ensuring all vegetables are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle Cajun seasoning over the vegetables, tossing gently to distribute the spice blend thoroughly.
- Divide the seasoned vegetables equally among the prepared foil sheets, arranging them in a single layer to promote even cooking.
- Fold the foil edges to create sealed packets, leaving a small space at the top for steam circulation.
- Place the foil packets on a large baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Carefully open the foil packets, being mindful of escaping steam, and season with additional salt to taste.
- Serve hot directly from the foil packets as a side dish or over rice for a complete meal.
Tips
- Use heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent tearing and ensure even cooking.
- Cut vegetables into uniform sizes for consistent roasting.
- Don't overcrowd the foil packets - leave some space for steam circulation.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or thyme after roasting.
- Adjust Cajun seasoning to your spice tolerance - start with less and add more if needed.
- For a protein boost, you can add sliced chicken or shrimp directly to the foil packets.
- Serve over rice, quinoa, or with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices.
- These foil packs are perfect for meal prep and can be refrigerated and reheated easily.
