Kree's Fat-Free Grilled Veggies

"My local grocery store was out of the fat-free zesty Italian dressing I usually use on my grilled veggies, so on a whim I grabbed some red wine vinaigrette and went to town. The result was this easy, fat-free recipe with a very subtle but delicious flavor. My mother and I made this for a Fourth of July barbecue and it was a big hit. You don't need to use exactly 1/2 cup dressing, just however much seems right to cover all your veggies. As usual, the serving size is an estimate."

ingredients

  • 1 lb sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1 lb red potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1/2 inch cubes (I've also used Russets, which I peel)

  • 12 cup fat-free red wine vinaigrette dressing (I use Wishbone)
  • 2 ice cubes

directions

  • Preheat grill to medium-low.
  • Combine vegetables and dressing in a Reynolds Hot Bag, or use 2 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Add ice cubes for moisture and seal bag tightly.
  • Place bag in preheated grill. Cook with the hood closed for approximately 30-40 minutes or until the carrots are tender when (carefully!) poked with a fork, since the carrots take the longest to cook.
  • Enjoy!

  1. Really tasty. This made a HUGE amount of veggies though and if you don't have a reynolds bag there is really no way to do it in 1 package. We made 4 smaller ones after trying to make 1 big and so we lost some when it fell all over the counter. That said, it had excellent flavor and was great on a summer day when we were trying to avoid getting the kitchen hot but still eat healthfully!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a real estate agent in the lovely city of Rochester, New York. That's not what I expected to do with my life. I got my bachelor's in psychology, my masters in literacy education, and I taught high school special education for two years. Then I discovered that helping people find the homes of their dreams was my real passion. I've been doing it for over two years now and still absolutely love my career. Other than that, I have a very spoiled Border Collie mix named Bear that I adopted from a local shelter in spring '08. He's gorgeous and fun and brings me great joy. Now if only I could find a man like that... LOL!
