Grilling food in foil packets creates steam so food cooks in its own juices, which makes the contents flavorful and lower in fat. Best of all: no cleanup! —Lisa Finnegan, Forked River, New Jersey *Test Kitchen Approved

Ingredients:
• 2 medium yellow summer squash, sliced
• 2 medium sweet red peppers, sliced
• 1 large sweet onion, halved and sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Divide between two double thicknesses of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. x 12 in.). Fold foil around vegetable mixture and seal tightly.

2. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Open foils carefully to allow steam to escape.
