Camping as a vegetarian doesn’t mean you have to fill up on just sides and snacks. There are plenty of healthy vegetarian camping recipes that are both delicious and nutritious, and even the meat-eaters on your trip will enjoy them! Here are three to get you started.
1. Campfire-Roasted Potatoes
Kick your bland potatoes up a notch. This recipe is packed with flavor and can be served with your favorite veggies.
Ingredients
- 5 large red potatoes, cubed
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp. olive oil
- 3/5 tsp. ground black pepper
- 3/4 tsp. dried oregano
- Salt to taste
Directions
- In a large bowl, mix your ingredients together.
- Place your mixture in several layers of aluminum foil and then seal the edges.
- Position a wire rack over the hot coals and place your aluminum packet on top of the wire rack.
- Cook for 30 to 40 minutes, flipping the packet midway through cooking.
- These potatoes also make great side dishes for those on your trip who still want a burger.
2. Campfire Salad
You don’t need meat to get a healthy dose of protein. This salad includes veggies and black beans to keep you energized and full.
Ingredients
Dressing
- 1/4 cup sherry vinegar
- 1 tsp. sugar
- salt and black pepper
- 2 tbsp. fresh oregano, minced
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salad
- 2 lbs. asparagus, ends trimmed
- 1 lbs. fresh green beans, cut into pieces
- 3 large carrots, shredded
- 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
Directions
- To make the dressing, use a whisk to mix the vinegar, sugar, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper, then slowly add the oil while whisking.
- Blanch the asparagus and green beans. Blanching is when you drop vegetables into boiling water briefly and then place them in ice-cold water immediately afterward for a minute or two.
- Combine your carrots, black beans, and green beans in a mixing bowl.
- Drizzle your dressing on top, mix thoroughly, and serve.
