Ingredients

• 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Yellow squash
• 1 pint Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 Lemon
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 large sheets Aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice the zucchini and yellow squash into thin rounds. Cut the red bell pepper into thin strips. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Lay out 4 large sheets of aluminum foil on a flat surface.

Step 4

Place one tilapia fillet in the center of each foil sheet.

Step 5

Divide the sliced zucchini, yellow squash, cherry tomatoes, and red bell pepper strips evenly among the packets, arranging them around the fish.

Step 6

Drizzle each packet with about 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and squeeze a wedge of lemon over the top. Sprinkle each packet with minced garlic, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Fold the foil sheets over the fish and vegetables, crimping the edges to seal tightly and create a packet. Make sure there are no holes or gaps.

Step 8

Place the foil packets on the preheated grill or in the oven. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 9

Carefully open the foil packets (watching out for hot steam) and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional parsley and a lemon wedge.
