This was an easy, tasty dish cooked in aluminum foil on the grill. Nothing hard about and you cook individual servings in foil packets, which makes cleanup easy.
While this recipe uses red potatoes, yellow squash, and onions, you could add any other veggies that would like, such as green beans, peas, or carrots. You can see what it looks like at the right when cooked as specified in the recipe.
Same thing with the spices--try other spices other than rosemary, thyme, and basil. You'll be cooking the same basic dish, changed up in your own way. Let me know what combinations you try and how they worked for you.

It's been fun cooking in foil packets on the grill. It expands some of the dishes you can cook. This is also a dish that you could do when you go camping. Make them up ahead of time, put in a cooler, and toss and the coals from your campfire after you get that going.
Give it a try and tell me what you think!
