I love roasted vegetables! I was roasting them long before they were trendy, and didn't even realize it could be "a thing." When I was young, my family did a lot of camping. I learned how to build a fire, and how to cook on it.
Roasting veggies is simple, and makes them very sweet and tender. Your kids will love helping you! You can make a whole dinner with desert just roasting! You can do this in your oven, but during the heat of the summer, you can do it outdoors on a grill. The goal with veggies is to roast them until some of their edges are almost black.
The procedure is very simple. First, you will need to make a couple/three of layers of tin foil for each "packet" that is going on the fire. First, make a packet with some chicken pieces. They should all be about the same size. I recommend leaving the skin on, as it protects the meat. Dab all the chicken with some italian dressing , salt and pepper. Let the kids wrap it up and put it on a grill when the coals just turn white. (at medium heat if you've got gas). Then, while it is cooking, make another packet of veggies. Cut up the harder veggies in big pieces, and the softer veggies in smaller ones. Salt and pepper, and some olive oil is all you need! Put it on the grill , too. If you have a grill with a lid, put it on. To make sure you don't burn your food, just sprinkle some water over the coals if you think the fire is too hot. Turn your packets carefully to get both sides cooing.
When these are ready to eat, put your last packet in the fire. Use some hard fruit like apples or pears with brown sugar and cinnamon in a packet. Or make Smores!
