   Add Italian pork sausage to one side of grill (you'll add more to the grill later). Close lid and grill until browned and cooked through, ⏱️ 10 minutes to ⏱️ 12 minutes per side. (If sausage begins to brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium low.) Transfer to a cutting board. Once sausage has cooked ⏱️ 2 minutes , add veggie packets to empty side of grill. Close lid and grill until veggies are tender, ⏱️ 18 minutes to ⏱️ 20 minutes . TIP: When checking for doneness, carefully open the packets with tongs; there will be steam!
