Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large bell peppers (mixed colors: red, yellow, green, orange)
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 large red onion
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 4 links pre-cooked sausage (optional, vegetarian-friendly options work too)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 sheets foil
Instructions
Step 1: Start your campfire and let it burn down to hot embers, or preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2: Chop the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. If using sausage, also slice the links into rounds.
Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and sausage slices. Drizzle with olive oil.
Step 4: Sprinkle the mixture with garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
Step 5: Lay out 4 large sheets of aluminum foil on a flat surface. Divide the vegetable and sausage mixture evenly among the foil sheets.
Step 6: Fold the edges of each foil sheet over the mixture to create a sealed packet. Make sure the packets are tightly sealed to trap steam during cooking.
Step 7: Place the foil packets on the embers of the campfire or directly onto the grill grates. Cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping the packets halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Step 8: Carefully remove the foil packets from the heat and let them cool for a minute before opening. Serve directly from the packet or transfer to plates for a colorful, campfire-ready meal.
