Keto Cabbage and Sausage Foil Packs — individually portioned meals that are simple to prepare on the grill. Sliced smoked sausage combines with cabbage, onion, and green pepper, lightly seasoned and finished with butter inside foil packets.
As the packets steam, the butter melts and coats the vegetables and sausage, creating a rich, savory glaze.
Prepare the foil packets ahead of time and refrigerate for an almost effortless meal later. They’re excellent for camping — cook them over a campfire — and can be served right from the foil for easy cleanup.
On a medium-high grill I cook the packets 12 minutes on one side, then flip and cook about 10 more minutes for very tender cabbage. If you prefer a little crunch, grill about 8 minutes, flip, and cook another 5 minutes. Because the smoked sausage is already cooked, you’re mainly steaming the vegetables and warming everything through.
Tips for making Keto Cabbage and Sausage Foil Packs:
- Use any smoked sausage you like — pork, turkey, or chicken all work well.
- This recipe is easy to double to serve more people.
- Cook the packets on a grill or bake them in a 400°F oven.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the packs just before serving for extra flavor.
- Add dried thyme for a subtle herbal note, or substitute parsley, oregano, or basil.
