Cajun Sausage and Vegetable Foil Packets

Cajun Sausage and Vegetable Foil Packets can be assembled in less than 10 minutes, and are protein rich, fiber packed and gluten free.

Cajun Sausage and Vegetable foil packs are not only super simple, but delicious too. I just LOVE meals I can assemble in a hurry. Which is pretty much every night around here!

I have heard from my social media world, that people no longer read blogs, but rather just skip to the recipe or whatever info they are seeking. Some people actually get annoyed with us bloggers for sharing words??!! (Insert shocked emoji)

But that won’t stop me so let’s talk about just how easy this recipe really is? The easiest!

No standing over the stove top, or hot grill. Simply cut, season, stir and fold up your foil package.

These super simple cajun foil packs are my new favorite and my kids enjoyed them too! When I make them for the family I make a side of rotini or penne pasta (seasoned with a little oil, butter, garlic powder, s&p) to go along with them, but you don’t need a grain. You could also make some plain rice, but you could always add a side salad to fill you up.

Back to school is happening soon and we need all the simple recipes we can get.

If you ARE reading this, I want to talk to you about your health. I am always surprised when I go exercise how many ladies are working out SO hard, but still struggling with their weight. That leads me to believe their nutrition, stress and maybe sleep are still suffering.

If you are one of those people or even if you just feel like you need to get back on track with a healthy lifestyle, leave me a comment, send me an email (my contact form located up top will get you to my email). I’d love to work with you on your nutrition. I think you might love having more energy, hopefully lose a little weight (if needed)?! I have several options in how I can work with you!

Recipe type: Main

Serves: 4

Ingredients

12 ounce smoked sausage link, cut into slices (I use a venison blend)
½ small head of cabbage (I used purple), roughly chopped
½ large yellow onion, rough chop
1 red bell pepper, rough chop
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Cajun or Creole seasoning (see notes)
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss sausage, cabbage and onion in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon seasoning. Using 3-4 large squares of foil, divide up mixture, seal up foil packets tightly, like a package. Place packets on a cookie tray. Bake for 20 minutes. Before serving, open packets, squeeze with some lemon juice and enjoy!

Notes

The amount of sodium varies greatly amongst the different brands of Creole/Cajun seasoning. Look for lower sodium seasoning. I use a Creole seasoning that has 190mg per serving, which is still plenty.
