Ingredients

12 ounces precooked chicken sausage Italian or other flavor
¼ oninon sliced
12 ounces green beans cut and trimmed
2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
2 medium white sweet potatoes
avocado oil spray or other cooking spray
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil

Instructions

Preheat oven or grill to 450F.
Prep and trim veggies. Cut chicken sausage into slices. Divide vegetables and chicken sausage among three pieces of foil. Make foil packets (see post above for instructions on how to make foil packets in the oven vs. the grill.)

Oven Instructions:

Place steamer packets on a cookie sheet in the oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until veggies are tender. Turn the oven up to broil. Open the steamer packets (BE CAREFUL USE TONGS THE HOT STEAM WILL RELEASE) and broil for 5-7 minutes or until they have a nice char on the top.

Grill Instructions

Cook foil packets for 15 minutes on each side. Remove from the grill and let cool until they can be handled without injury (or use tongs) before unwrapping.

Notes

For the grill, you'll use two sheets of foil. You'll fold the four sides onto each other so that the foil lays flat. Then, flip it over seam side down, place on the second sheet of foil and do the same thing. So the first foil seam will be the opposite of the second one. That way you can flip the foil packet on the grill so that both sides get a nice little char.

When using the oven, you want to create "steamer" packets.
