- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 4–6 cups chopped summer vegetables (I used zucchini, peppers, yellow squash, corn, and cherry tomatoes)
- 1/4 cup pesto (homemade or store bought)
- 1 pound tilapia filets, fresh or frozen)
- 4 lemon slices
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat grill to medium (about 400 degrees).
In a bowl, combine vegetables and pesto and stir until well coated.
Divide vegetable mixture between 4 large sheets of foil.
Top each pile of veggies with a piece of tilapia.
Add a slice of lemon and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Fold sides of foil up to meet in the middle and fold closed, then fold in sides to seal foil packets.
Add foil packets to grill and cook for approximately 10 minutes.
Tilapia is done when it is white instead of translucent and flakes easily with a fork.
Drain excess liquid from packets before serving.
Notes
You can use frozen tilapia but you’ll need to cook it a bit longer.
