Veggie Skewer Camping Recipe
Grab an apron, and don’t forget to bring along your camping grill and firepit accessories or make sure the camping site has a grill and get ready to cook up some veggies.
Ingredients:
- red onion, red pepper, yellow squash, mushrooms, zucchini, green peppers (or veggies of your choice)
- extra virgin olive oil
- kosher sea salt
- crushed peppercorn medley
- wooden or metal skewers
Directions:
- Clean and slice your vegetables into big chunks, so they hold their flavor and stand out. You could also do the prepping at home the day before you go camping. I would.
- Toss your veggies in 1-2 Tablespoons of olive oil.
- Take your cut veggies and add them to the skewers one at a time, leaving room on both ends to hold and place on the fire.
- Place on the grate of a campfire grill and keep a close eye on them. The temperature in an open flame environment can vary, but typically five minutes on each side is right. Rotate and cook another five minutes.
- Once you start to notice a bit of char on your veggies, you can pull them from the fire.
- Let them cool slightly before touching as they will be hot.
- Once the veggies have cooled down a bit, remove and add into a bowl or on your plate — top with a sprinkle of kosher sea salt and some crushed peppercorn medley.
Camping Food Must-Haves
Speaking of camping food must-haves, here’s a rundown on favorite foods to take camping. Though there were a lot of excellent food choices out on the web and from my Facebook friends (I took a poll), I’ll try to keep this list somewhat healthy for you!
Besides the apparent s’ mores (which was everyone’s favorite from the poll I took, there are good food choices for your next camping adventure.
- Banana Boats (bananas, nut butter, chocolate, and marshmallows if you must)
- Trail Mix with dried fruit
- Bacon (second most favorable from the poll I took)
- Beef Jerky
- Eggs for omelets
- Potatoes and onions for breakfast
- Instant coffee
- Stuff to make sandwiches
- Make-ahead meals (beef stew, my blender soups (link coming soon), sausage potato goulash, etc.
