Our Favorite Easy Foil Packet Dinner Recipes

Foil packet dinners are not, unfortunately, fool-proof. There are a couple of things to keep in mind to ensure success:

  • Much like grilling, you want to choose foods that cook at about the same time and temperature. For instance, potatoes require a fairly long stint in the oven and typically won’t work well with shrimp, which tend to cook quickly.

  • The upside to cooking everything in a foil packet is that the steam and juices stay trapped in, creating a mini-oven cooking atmosphere. Keep this in mind, though, when choosing vegetables. Ones that tend to release a lot of liquid (think spinach) when cooking may make the foil packet too watery.

  • Lastly, keep in mind that foil packets are the perfect way to portion control meals and can make for a great Sunday Meal Prep strategy. Just be sure to seal your packets well to avoid letting out any additional steam and cooking juices. And be certain to let each packet cool a minute or two before opening. They’re going to be as hot as they are tasty. Enjoy!
