My mom roasted these same veggies when we went rafting last month. That’s where I fell in love with the mixture. She pre-roasted the vegetables at home, stored them in the cooler on the boat, wrapped them in tinfoil at camp, and stuck them in the fire to reheat. They were delicious! Try it next time you go camping.
Oh, and if you take your fishing rod, you could catch some trout and have fresh fish with lemon and roasted fall veggies while in the backcountry. That’s way better than the usual canned or dehydrated camping meals!
