By Heather Ray, MS, RD
There’s just something about working up an appetite in the great outdoors that makes food taste a little more delicious. But when it comes to menu planning for an upcoming camping or RV trip, finding meal ideas that are portable and healthy can be a challenge.
Here you’ll find three fun recipes that can be prepared in foil packets. You don’t have to have plans to sleep under the stars anytime soon—you can simply bake in a 400-degree oven instead. Easy to make, even easier to clean up. Plus, each recipe can be customized to suit your tastes and health goals.
It's a Wrap!
Use double layers of heavy-duty foil to prevent the food from burning. For entrees, use 12 x 20-inch sheets. For snacks and desserts, use 12 x 16-inch (or larger) sheets. Bring the long sides together in the center and make tight folds until the foil is close to the food. Fold the short sides to seal the packet.
