Ingredients
  

4 ears of fresh sweet corn, husked and cut into 1-inch rounds

6 slices of thick-cut bacon, chopped

1 medium red bell pepper, diced

1 small red onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Aluminum foil

Instructions
 

Prepare the Foil: Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil, about 12x12 inches each. Make sure to create a double layer for sturdiness.

    Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn, chopped bacon, red bell pepper, red onion, garlic, smoked paprika, dried thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until well coated.

      Assemble the Packets: Divide the corn and bacon mixture evenly among the four pieces of foil. Gather the sides of the foil and fold them to seal the packets tightly, leaving a little space inside for steam to circulate.

        Cooking Methods:

          - Grilling:

            - Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

              - Place the foil packets directly on the grill grates and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the corn is tender and the bacon is fully cooked.

                - Oven:

                  - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

                    - Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until the corn is tender and the bacon is crispy.

                      Serve: Carefully remove the packets from the grill or oven. Open them gently to avoid steam burns. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for garnish before serving.

                        Enjoy: Serve your Sweet Corn & Bacon Foil Packets hot as a side dish or a delicious light meal.
