Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Prepare the Grill or Oven: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat (about 350°F or 175°C). Alternatively, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Prepare Foil Packets: Create two sturdy foil packets using heavy-duty aluminum foil (double layering if using regular foil). Lightly spray the inside of each packet with nonstick cooking spray. (5 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Combine Vegetables: In a large bowl, gently toss together the sliced potatoes, chopped onion, and frozen mixed vegetables. Season generously with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic salt. (5 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Assemble Packets: Evenly divide the seasoned vegetables between the two foil packets. Distribute the butter pats over the vegetables in each packet. (5 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Seal Packets: Fold each foil packet lengthwise, bringing the edges together and crimping tightly to create a secure seal. Repeat the process for each end of the packet, ensuring it is completely sealed to trap steam and flavor. (5 minutes)

06

Step
33 mins

Cook on Grill or in Oven: If grilling, place the foil packets directly on the preheated grill grates. Cook for approximately 15 minutes per side, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork. If baking in the oven, place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. (30-35 minutes)

07

Step
5 mins

Rest and Serve: Carefully remove the foil packets from the grill or oven. Allow them to rest for 5 minutes before opening, as steam will escape. Open the packets carefully to avoid burns. Serve the Campfire Veggies immediately as a side dish or a light meal.

For enhanced flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a sprinkle of smoked paprika to the vegetables before sealing the packets.
Feel free to customize the vegetables according to your preference. Bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms would be excellent additions.
Ensure the foil packets are tightly sealed to prevent steam from escaping, which is crucial for proper cooking and flavor infusion.
