   Step 3: Divide the green beans (1 pound) and sliced zucchini (1), onion and bell pepper (1) evenly among the four fillets. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Add 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce and ½ tablespoon butter to each packet, using the measured ½ cup sauce and 2 tablespoons butter in total. Fold the long foil edges together several times, then fold in the ends to seal all four packets. Grill for 10 minutes before turning.
