Campfire veggie hobo packs are a delicious and easy vegetarian meal option for camping. They consist of a mixture of vegetables and seasonings wrapped in aluminum foil and cooked directly over the campfire. Here’s a simple recipe to make campfire veggie hobo packs:
Ingredients:
- Assorted vegetables of your choice, such as potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, onions, mushrooms, etc., sliced or cubed
- Olive oil or melted butter
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional seasonings: dried herbs (thyme, rosemary, oregano), paprika, chili powder, etc.
Instructions:
- Prepare your campfire and let it burn down to a bed of hot coals.
- Tear off a large piece of aluminum foil, around 12-16 inches long, for each hobo pack.
- Place a portion of the sliced or cubed vegetables in the center of the aluminum foil.
- Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil or melted butter to coat them lightly.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings of your choice over the vegetables. Toss them gently to evenly distribute the seasonings.
- Bring the sides of the aluminum foil up and fold them together, creating a sealed packet. Fold and crimp the edges tightly to prevent any steam or juices from escaping.
- Repeat the process to make individual hobo packs for each camper.
- Place the hobo packs directly on the hot coals or on a grate over the campfire. Cook for approximately 20-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Flip the hobo packs halfway through cooking to ensure even heat distribution.
- Carefully remove the hobo packs from the fire using tongs or heat-resistant gloves. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before opening.
- Open the hobo packs carefully, as steam will escape. Serve the cooked vegetables directly from the foil packets or transfer them to plates or bowls.
