Instructions
- Preheat your grill to a medium-low heat.
- Slice the sweet potato and zucchini into rounds or half-moons, arranging them alternately in the center of a Reynold’s Hot Bag or on a double layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- Chop the onion into slices and scatter it over the sweet potato and zucchini.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, and minced garlic until well combined. Drizzle this mixture over the vegetables, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the vegetables with fresh sage, salt, and black pepper to taste.
- Seal the Hot Bag (or tightly wrap the foil around the vegetables) and place it onto the preheated grill.
- Close the grill’s hood and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
- For an alternative cooking method, you can bake the foil packet in a preheated 375°F oven for 30 to 40 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove from the grill or oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this delicious grilled balsamic vegetable dish as a side or light meal!
Tips and Variations
- If you don’t have a grill, baking in the oven works just as well for this recipe.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for added flavor.
- For a more robust flavor, try adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
