39. Grilled Sweet Potato Taco Filling Foil Packet
Foil packets are the lazy cook’s best friend, and this one is a whole taco dinner. Cubes of sweet potato go on the foil with a little butter and salt, then chopped spinach, seasoned taco meat with black beans and a sprinkle of cheddar. The recipe bakes them at 425°F, and sealed packets like these are a natural fit for the grill too. Top them with avocado, sour cream or salsa.
40. Tex Mex White Bean Grilled Chicken Packets
Dump, fold and grill. That’s the whole plan. Diced chicken breast gets tossed with navy beans, diced tomatoes, mini corn and a Mexican spice blend, then divided among foil squares and sealed up tight so nothing leaks when you flip them. Shredded cheese and green onion go on at the end. These work on the grill or over a campfire, and cleanup is basically throwing away the foil.
41. Grilled Maple Dijon Pork Chops
These chops get the full treatment. First an optional brine of water, apple juice and kosher salt for 2 to 8 hours, which makes them noticeably juicier. Then a marinade of grainy Dijon, pure maple syrup, brown sugar, garlic, shallot, thyme and olive oil. Grill bone-in chops about an inch thick, and that sweet tangy glaze caramelizes beautifully. It’s ready in under half an hour once you’ve done the brining.
42. Salmon & Summer Veggies in Foil
Salmon and summer squash cook together in one neat packet. Zucchini, yellow squash, shallot and garlic go down first, then a salmon fillet seasoned with lemon juice, thyme, oregano and marjoram, all topped with diced Roma tomatoes. Fold up the foil and the fish steams in its own juices. The recipe bakes them at 400°F, and foil packets are just as happy on the grill. No pan to scrub.
43. Apple Pie Pizza on the Grill
Dessert pizza on the grill is a genius move. A ready-made crust gets brushed with coconut oil and dusted with cinnamon, then layered with apple pie filling, mini marshmallows and chocolate chips. It goes onto a 450 to 500°F grill on a pan or foil for 7 to 10 minutes, until the marshmallows toast and the chips melt. Picture apple pie meeting s’mores. No grill? The broiler works too.
