Grilling food in foil packets creates steam so food cooks in its own juices, which makes the contents flavorful and lower in fat. Best of all: no cleanup! —Lisa Finnegan, Forked River, New Jersey

Ingredients

2 medium yellow summer squash, sliced
2 medium sweet red peppers, sliced
1 large sweet onion, halved and sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Divide between 2 double thicknesses of heavy-duty foil (about 18x12 in.). Fold foil around vegetable mixture and seal tightly.
2. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Open foils carefully to allow steam to escape.
