Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Tear four large sheets of heavy-duty foil (10–12 inches wide).

Add chopped vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or zucchini for extra flavor and texture.
Use garlic butter or paprika for a richer or spicier packet.
Swap rice for cooked potatoes or quinoa.
