GARLIC PARMESAN BROCCOLI AND POTATOES IN FOIL

The easiest, flavor-packed side dish ever! Wrap everything in foil, toss in your seasonings and you’re set!

I have three love affairs when it comes to food: 1. side dishes, 2. foil recipes and 3. garlic parmesan. Side dishes are one of the most important components of a meal, sometimes even more important than the main entree, and foil recipes are, well, just so stinking easy.

But the secret for a successful foil packet is to use baby red potatoes – the teeniest ones you can find. If baby red potatoes are unavailable,  it is best to cut the potatoes in small pieces so that they can be cooked in a timely manner without overcooking the broccoli.
