Easy Garlic Herb Sausage and Veggie Foil Packs

Ingredients

• 16 oz. baby red potatoes
• 12 oz. fully cooked smoked turkey sausage, cut into slices about 1/4-inch thick
• 12 oz. green beans or yellow beans, ends trimmed, I used a blend of both
• 8 oz. baby carrots, thicker ones halved through the length
• 1 small yellow onion, halved and sliced
• 4 tsp minced garlic
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• Grated parmesan, for serving, optional

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Put the red potatoes on a large plate and microwave them for 3 minutes, turning them over midway through. When they are cool enough to handle, cut them into quarters. Transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl with the sausage, beans, carrots, onions and garlic. Pour in the olive oil, add the Italian seasoning, and season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Cut 4 sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil, each 16 by 12-inch. Set the pieces out separately on a flat work surface. Spoon the sausage mixture evenly onto the foil sheets, arranging each portion into a loose rectangle. Bring the sides of the foil inward and fold them over 2 times to close, leaving a little space inside for heat to move around. Fold up the ends twice as well to seal each packet.
3. Arrange the foil packets next to each other on a 18 by 13-inch baking sheet. Bake in the heated oven until the vegetables are tender, about 35 – 40 minutes. Open the packets carefully, since hot steam will escape. Finish with parmesan and parsley, and serve warm.
