Easy camping meals must include this campfire vegetable recipe for baked vegetables. This is an easy way to prepare vegetables by wrapping them in foil and baking over the campfire! All you need to add is oil to keep them moist and your favorite seasonings. No special cookware is required, and cleanup is a breeze!
Baked Vegetables
4 medium potatoes
4 carrots
1 onion
2 stalks celery
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp pepper
1 1/2 tsp basil
Slice potatoes 1/4 inch thick. Slice carrots and celery 1/2 inch thick. Slice onion to 1/4 inch thick or less. Mince or chop garlic. Pour olive oil over vegetables and toss to coat evenly. Add the pepper and basil, mix. Create a foil pouch by using a piece of heavy duty foil 12 inches by 20 inches. Place vegetables in the middle. Bring the 12 inch sides together over top and fold tight. Fold up open ends and fold tight. The tight fold will ensure that the moisture stays inside.
Place on grill over fire. Bake until vegetables are tender, which will depend on how hot your fire is. For a good fire, average 30 minutes.
Variations:
1. Include or substitute your favor seasoning for the pepper and basil.
2. Use your favorite combination of vegetables. If you don’t like celery, leave it out. It works best to use vegetables that require similar length of cooking time. Try broccoli and cauliflour, which do not need to bake as long as the potatoes.
3. For added flavor, add a few dabs of butter to the vegetables before you close the foil wrap.
