#Recipes #Food #Drink >>> GARLIC PARMESAN BROCCOLI AND POTATOES IN FOIL
The easiest, flavor-packed side dish EVER! Wrap everything in foil, toss in your seasonings and you’re set!
I have three love affairs when it comes to food: 1. side dishes, 2. foil recipes and 3. garlic parmesan. Side dishes are one of the most important components of a meal, sometimes even more important than the main entree, and foil recipes are, well, just so stinking easy. I don’t think I need to explain love affair #3.
So when you combine all three together, you create the most epic side dish of all. It’s quick, it’s packed with tons of flavor, and it all comes together in an easy peasy foil packet with freshly grated Parmesan, plenty of garlic, and Italian seasoning.
But the secret for a successful foil packet is to use baby red potatoes – the teeniest ones you can find. If baby red potatoes are unavailable, it is best to cut the potatoes in small pieces so that they can be cooked in a timely manner without overcooking the broccoli.
My favorite part about this is the individual foil packets for easy serving – and you get to save on a few dishes too!
