Instructions

Preheat grill to medium-high (450°F) or oven to 425°F. Prepare 4 large (2 feet each) sheets of heavy-duty foil; lightly spritz with cooking spray.
Cut the top off the pepper, remove seeds, and thinly slice. If slices are long, cut in half. Remove husk from corn and cut into 1-inch discs. I place a thick kitchen towel over a sharp knife and press down firmly with the heel of my hand. Finely dice the yellow onion. Cut washed (unpeeled) potatoes into bite-sized pieces, about 8–10 pieces per potato. Cut sausage into 1/2-inch thick coins.
Add veggies, sausage, oil, and seasonings to a large bowl. Season to taste (I add 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper). Toss until well combined.
Divide the mixture evenly among the foil sheets (about 2 cups per packet). Seal the foil packs tightly, leaving room for air to circulate.
Cook with one of these methods:
Grill: Grill for 25–30 minutes, flipping at the halfway point. Check for doneness (see note 2).
Bake: Bake for 30–40 minutes. At 30 minutes, veggies are crisp; at 35 minutes, they are perfect for me; at 40 minutes, they are very tender. Place foil packs on the oven rack or a sheet pan.
Sheet Pan: Spread ingredients on a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake for 30–35 minutes, flipping/stirring once at the halfway point.
Carefully open the foil pack (steam will escape). Garnish with fresh parsley, additional salt/pepper, and freshly grated Parmesan if desired.

Notes

Note 1: When baking instead of grilling or using a campfire, you may need extra salt, pepper, or Parmesan cheese for added flavor. A honey mustard sauce also pairs well.

Note 2: When checking for doneness, only open one packet to retain steam. Otherwise cooking will take longer.

Storage: Store leftovers wrapped in foil or in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
