Easy Vegetarian Camping Meals
1. Campfire Veggie Tacos
Sauté bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms over the fire, toss in black beans and taco seasoning, then load into tortillas. Add cheese, avocado, or salsa if you’re feeling extra.
Use a flat camping griddle for best results.
2. Foil Packet Veggie Stir Fry
Chop your fave veggies (zucchini, carrots, peppers, snap peas), toss with soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic, then seal in foil and toss on the grill or campfire coals.
Pro tip: Pack pre-mixed sauce in a small squeeze bottle to make this super easy.
3. Campfire Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup
Nothing beats melty grilled cheese with a hot mug of tomato soup on a chilly night. Use a pie iron or pan to toast the sandwich over the fire.
Shop Pie Irons for that perfect golden crunch.
4. Sweet Potato & Black Bean Burritos
Pre-roast sweet potatoes at home or cook them in foil over the fire. Mash with black beans, cumin, and lime juice, then wrap in a tortilla. So good, so filling.
5. Chickpea Salad Sandwiches
No fire needed! Mash chickpeas with vegan mayo, mustard, celery, onion, and a little pickle juice. Pack it in a cooler and pile it high on sandwich bread or wraps.
Use a quality cooler to keep it fresh all weekend.
6. Campfire Stuffed Peppers
Fill bell peppers with pre-cooked rice, black beans, salsa, and cheese. Wrap in foil and cook near the coals until melty and soft. Instant crowd-pleaser.
7. One-Pot Vegetarian Chili
Bring canned beans, tomatoes, corn, and chili seasoning. Toss it all in one pot over the fire and let it simmer. Warm, cozy, and loaded with protein.
Perfect in a Dutch oven over hot coals.
8. Avocado Toast with Campfire Eggs
Start your morning with toasted bread, mashed avocado, and a fried egg on top. It feels fancy, but it’s so easy. Sprinkle with chili flakes if you’re into heat.
9. Fire-Roasted Veggie Skewers

Use foil pans with lids for easy transport and cleanup.
12. Veggie Breakfast Hash
Dice potatoes, onions, peppers, and zucchini. Cook everything in a cast iron skillet over the fire with a little olive oil until golden and crispy. Top with eggs or skip for a vegan version.
13. Peanut Butter Banana Wraps

Use instant oats or cook rolled oats over the stove. Add toppings like dried fruit, nuts, nut butter, or maple syrup. Warm, filling, and totally customizable.
Meal Prep & Storage Hacks
- Pre-chop at home: Dice onions, peppers, and zucchini ahead of time and pack in silicone bags.
- Use frozen ingredients: Frozen veggies double as ice packs in your cooler and thaw perfectly by meal time.
- Bring spice mixes: Premix taco seasoning, chili powder, or garlic herb blends in small containers so you’re not hauling your spice rack.
- Label everything: Use masking tape to label meals and days so you know what to grab and when—especially for foil packet dinners.
