Next time you venture into the great outdoors, take along these Campfire Roasted Veggies. Prep ahead, and cook them right over your fire!

Cooking a tray of campfire roasted veggies over a campfire

Today, we’re cooking up the rainbow with this spread of delicious roasted vegetables. But, they’re not roasted any which way — they’re roasted over a campfire! Extra flavor, extra outdoorsy points.

After a day of camping and spending every waking second in the great outdoors, your body is probably feeling it. These are such a treat when you’re absolutely craving some nutrients and veggies. It’s easy to prep before you leave town, and it’s impossible to mess up!

When cooking time finally rolls around, avoid putting the container on the direct flame, as it will burn through the bottom of the pan. Instead, use hot coals or stones that have been in the fire and are hot.

Ingredients in campfire roasted veggies

The whole meal is prepped in only 15 minutes (or less), making it an easy meal to whip together! Your future campin’ self will thank you.

  • Garlic: First, start with 2 whole heads of garlic. We won’t even peel these 0 just cut off the tops, drizzle with oil, and let them roast to caramelized garlic perfection!
  • Carrots: One whole carrot adds flavor and textural variety! Feel free to substitute it with another starchy orange veggies, like sweet potato or butternut squash.
  • White Potatoes: 2 white potatoes will bulk up this recipe and add some heartiness.
  • Zucchini: Next, include 1 zucchini.
  • Yellow Squash: Follow that with 1 yellow squash.
  • Red Onion: Include 1 red onion for extra potency and flavor.
  • Seasonings: 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder and smoked paprika bring some extra flavor. Finally, finish off the dish with ½ teaspoon each of salt and pepper.

How to make this campfire roasted vegetable recipe

If you’ve ever made a tray of roasted veggies, this dish comes together the same way. We’ll start by chopping the veggies — we’ll just wait to cook them! All in all, this meal provides 4 heaping servings.

Step 1: Prep the garlic
Remove any excess papery skin from the garlic heads. Chop the top off of each one so that the tops of the cloves are exposed. Evenly pour 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over each head so that it seeps into the cloves.

Step 2: Cut the vegetables
Chop all of the veggies into bite-sized pieces. Combine everything in a large bowl with the remaining 2 tablespoon of oil and all seasonings, tossing evenly to coat.

Step 3: Assemble the dish
Evenly divide the veggies and garlic heads into 2 8×8 inch disposable aluminum pans. Cover the dishes tightly with aluminum foil and store them in a fridge or cooler until they’re ready to cook (up to 3 days).

If storing in a cooler, place the pan in a gallon-sized ziploc bag to prevent water from getting in!

Step 4: Cook the dish
Cook the veggies over hot coals or elevated over a fire. Cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 30 to 60 minutes.

Campfire veggie variations

You can add to (or switch up) this meal by using any veggies. Sometimes I add green or red peppers, and other times I go with roma tomato slices and white onions! You can also use red potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, and whatever else you’d like. Prep, store, and cook the same way!
