Oven-Baked Zucchini Parmesan Chips
The oven-baked zucchini Parmesan chips are a great side dish for any meal, especially when you’re camping. You’ll need:
- 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs (can be made from regular bread if you have time)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (the block kind is fine)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter, divided into 4 parts; two to brush on the zucchini slices and two portions to toss with the bread crumbs and cheese respectively once those ingredients are added to the bowl.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 Celsius (if you don’t have an oven at home, use your campfire). Slice up one large zucchini into thin slices using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife so they cook evenly in the oven.
Spray each side of a half-sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray then line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup later on after baking time is done.
Sprinkle some Parmesan cheese over each slice then place them onto prepared sheet pans making sure that none overlap each other so all sides get equal exposure during the baking process which should take about 10 minutes but may vary depending on how thickly sliced these vegetables happen to be at first glance before slicing occurs.

The Best Ever Grilled Vegetables Recipe
Use a grill basket. If you have a grill basket, use it! The vegetables will be easier to handle and won’t fall through the grates of your grill. You might want to consider buying an extra one just for this cooking method because once you try it, you won’t want to do anything else when grilling veggies.
Don’t overdo it. If your recipe calls for too many vegetables at once, don’t go overboard—unless that’s what floats your boat (pun intended). Keep in mind that some of these recipes can be used for multiple types of meat and fish as well as fresh fruit like apples or pears! Be creative!
Top 5 Grilling Marinades for Vegetables
| Brand | Flavor | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|
| Lawry’s | Garlic & Herb Marinade | Bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, eggplant |

| Primal Kitchen | Lemon Turmeric Marinade | Asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potatoes |
| Daddy Sam’s | All Natural Original BBQ Sauce | Onions, bell peppers, portobello mushrooms |
| Stubbs | Soy, Garlic & Red Pepper Marinade | Zucchini, squash, onions, bell peppers |
This table highlights five top grilling marinades that work perfectly with popular vegetables when grilling. These brands of marinades can be easily found in most grocery stores and can take your grilling experience to the next level.
Balsamic Glazed Portabello Mushrooms
- Prepare the marinade by combining balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic and honey in a large bowl.
- Add mushrooms to the mixture and toss to coat evenly. Set aside for 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
- Preheat grill on high heat.
- Remove mushrooms from marinade and place on grill basket or pan with holes (you can also use aluminum foil). Grill until tender and golden brown, 8-10 minutes per side depending on size of mushroom cap (the larger ones will need more time).
- Drizzle entire mushroom with balsamic glaze before serving hot out of the oven!

Skillet Garlic Herb Mushrooms
Skillet garlic herb mushrooms are an easy camping recipe that is great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It’s also a great way to get your kids involved in the kitchen!
- Use a cast iron skillet for this step. If you don’t have one, use any frying pan or pot with a lid instead.
You can use fresh herbs or dried herbs for this recipe depending on what works best for you and your family.
If you like fresh herbs better than dried ones then add them directly into the skillet with the butter before heating up the pan over medium heat; otherwise add them after cooking has started by throwing them into the pan while still hot from cooking before serving up some more delicious goodness!
Try adding different types of herbs such as rosemary, thyme (dried or fresh), basil (fresh), parsley (dried) etc…to give it more flavor diversity!
You could also add bacon bits which would make this dish even tastier! Or how about sausage links sliced lengthwise so they lay flat instead?
They’ll brown nicely without curling up at all during frying since there’s no other ingredients to prevent browning due too much moisture content stored within meat fibers from being released during cooking times longer than 45 seconds…
Best Campfire Banana Boats for Dessert!
Camping recipes aren’t just for the main course. You can also make some pretty great snacks that you can eat around the campfire before or after dinner.
These banana boats are one of our favorite choices, because they’re easy to pack up in a cooler and bring along on your trip!
- Use a can of biscuits instead of making dough from scratch.
- Cut each biscuit into half, then place them on the bottom of your tin (don’t forget this step!).
- Add whatever toppings you like best: chocolate chips and cinnamon sugar is always good; peanut butter and marshmallow fluff are also tasty options!
- Place a banana inside the tin—we recommend cutting it so that it fits perfectly inside without sticking out over the top. Then wrap each half-biscuit around it so that nothing leaks out while cooking at high temperatures under hot coals (which will cook these treats faster).
Finding the perfect camping tent can be a daunting task, but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Check out our guide on the best camping tents for every budget and adventure to find the perfect tent for your next outdoor excursion.
Campfire Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Icing
Cinnamon rolls are one of the best parts of camping. The smell of cinnamon wafting through the air is enough to bring any camper back to their childhood, and nothing tastes better than a fresh hot cinnamon roll. But making cinnamon rolls over a campfire takes time and patience.
You’ll need:
- one cast iron skillet or Dutch oven
- 1 can of buttermilk biscuits or homemade dough for our recipe, visit cut into 8 pieces each (or you can use refrigerated dough)
- ½ cup brown sugar (packed)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
Toppings: butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, powdered sugar
S’mores in a Jar (No Campfire Required)
If you’re feeling a bit lazy, or just don’t have a campfire to heat up your s’mores, there’s an easy solution: make them in a jar. All you need is two ingredients and some very basic supplies.
The trick is to use a glass jar with a lid that seals well. This will keep the marshmallows from getting too brown on the outside while still allowing them to melt evenly on the inside.
If it doesn’t seal well enough, consider adding another layer of plastic wrap or aluminum foil before placing the lid back on top (but be sure not to touch any part of this foil-covered surface).
If all else fails, simply place your jar in boiling water instead though this might take longer than usual since there are no flames involved!

Apple Pie Bites Made with Canned Biscuits – One of Our Favorite Camping Treats!
Here’s a sweet treat that will make your mouth water. You’ll need canned biscuits, apple pie filling, and cinnamon sugar. Place the dough in a bowl, add cinnamon and sugar then mix together until well combined.
Roll out each biscuit until they are very flat. Spoon on a heaping spoonful of apple pie filling onto each dough circle, leaving room around the edges so they don’t run over while baking.
Fold up sides like an envelope and press down gently to seal it closed with no leakage! Bake at 450°F for 10 minutes or until golden brown on top, let cool slightly before eating them warm is best!
