How to Make Summer Vegetables In Parchment Paper

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash and chop all vegetables into bite-sized pieces (see ingredient list for specific amounts).
  3. In a large bowl, gently toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any desired herbs (rosemary, thyme, or oregano work well).
  4. Cut four 15-inch square pieces of parchment paper in half. Then, cut each half into a heart shape.
  5. Place a portion of the vegetable mixture onto the center of one side of each heart-shaped parchment sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space from the edges.
  6. Fold the other half of the parchment paper over the vegetables, forming a half-heart.
  7. Crimp and fold the edges of the parchment paper tightly to create a sealed packet. Make sure to create several small folds to prevent leaks.
  8. Place the packets on a rimmed baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  10. Carefully remove the packets from the oven using oven mitts.
  11. Let the packets cool slightly before opening. Be cautious as steam will escape.
  12. Cut open the parchment packets and serve immediately. Enjoy!
