When it comes to recipes, I’m a big, big fan of easy and delicious. That’s the best combo, in my opinion. Sure, I’ve made some fancy recipes in my day, but I always come back to recipes that come together quickly and get me in and out of the kitchen fast. The thing is, they have to be as delicious as they are fast, though. I don’t want to sacrifice flavor for expedience. With this delicious recipe, I get the best of both worlds, which means I can make them any time I get the craving – or a request!

Step 5: Seal and Bake

Pinch the short sides of the foil together and fold the ends together, pinching to seal. Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
