Imagine the aroma of fresh vegetables sizzling over a crackling campfire, infused with smoky flavors that heighten their natural sweetness. Campfire grilled vegetables are more than just a side dish; they’re a culinary adventure that brings out the best in seasonal produce, transforming simple ingredients into a feast for the senses under the open sky.
Ingredients
– Assorted vegetables, such as bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes
– Olive oil
– Garlic powder
– Dried herbs (such as thyme, oregano, or rosemary)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: balsamic glaze or fresh herbs for garnish
Cooking Steps
1. Prepare Your Fire: Start a campfire and allow it to burn until you have medium-high coals. Alternatively, you can cook over a grill grate.
2. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces or slices. If using cherry tomatoes, leave them whole. Place the vegetables in a large bowl.
3. Season and Coat: Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly—season with garlic powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well to ensure all vegetables are seasoned.
4. Grill Over the Fire: Place the vegetables directly on the grill grate over the campfire. Grill for about 5-8 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs, until they are tender and lightly charred.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the grilled vegetables from the fire and transfer to a serving platter. Optionally, drizzle with balsamic glaze or sprinkle with fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation. Serve hot as a delicious side dish or as a colorful addition to your camping meal.
