How to Make Campfire Zucchini Foil Packets
First in order to grill the Zucchini Foil Packets over a campfire, an adult must make a campfire.
Second, while the campfire logs are getting nice and hot slice the zucchinis into 1/4 inch slices.
Next, toss the zucchini in olive oil. Then divide the zucchini into even amounts. Pile the zucchini on the center of two different sheets of heavy duty foil pieces.
Third, sprinkle the zucchini with garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Next, place 3-4 pats of butter on top of the zucchini.
Fourth, slice an onion and place a few slices on top of the zucchini. Then sprinkle a little bit more Cajun Seasoning over the zucchini and onions.
Fifth, make sure the veggies are in the center of the foil sheets. Then bring up the foil sides. Double fold the ends and top of the foil packets loosely.
Sixth, place the campfire grill over the campfire. Place the foil packets on the grate side of the camp grill.
Last, grill the zucchini foil packets over the campfire for 10 minutes then flip the foil packets over using tongs.
Grill for additional 10 minutes. Then remove the grilled zucchini packets.
Carefully remove the foil packets from the campfire. Open the foil packets and enjoy.
Make sure to serve the foil packets while they’re nice and warm.
You could also serve the zucchini foil packets with my Campfire Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs and make these Campfire Sugar Cookie S’Mores for dessert.
