How to make foil packets

Use preferably two sheets of aluminum foil to prevent tearing up the packets. Do not seal the packets too tight, you want that steam to circulate inside so the food cooks evenly and the flavors combine. Add spices, herbs or your favorite condiment for extra flavor. With these tips, you can enjoy a delicious foil packet dinner in less than 30 minutes!

How long do you bake a foil packet?

  • Depending on your ingredients, give your foil packets a good 15-18 minutes in a HOT oven. While your food is baking, don’t be tempted to keep opening the foil packet to see if it’s done.
  • At the end of cooking, you can open your foil packet and broil for an extra 2-3 minutes to crisp up the food.
