seasonings of choice
Build a fire or get some charcoal briquettes hot. For camping I wash, peel and cut everything before hand and put in baggies in the cooler. To prepare, take 2 large pieces (approx 12-18") of tin foil and one layer of parchment paper. Layer cooking spray and then meat and veggies of your choice. Top with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle with your favorite seasonings...I like the Kirkland "no salt seasoning", along with good ole salt and pepper. Wrap foil around food to create a little package for the food to steam inside of. When you are ready to cook, your fire should be burned down to coals, or the briquettes to white hot. Place the foil dinner on the coals. If you have enough, place coals on top of the foil package also.
Cooking time will vary depending on your coals, how big you make your tin foil dinner, and the size/type of the vegetables. Cook for about 20 minutes and then turn package over. Cook 15 minutes more, remove from coals and carefully open to check to see if it is done. If not done, re-close, wrap another piece of foil around the package if needed and return it to the coals. Check again in another 10-15 minutes. When done, open and eat directly from the foil package. Super easy clean up and a delicious and healthy meal while camping! I never got a picture of the finished product, but it was visually stunning as well as delicious!
