Easy to Prepare Ahead of Time: Pre-cut vegetables and marinate meat at home so all you have to do when you get to the campsite is assemble and cook.
Minimal Cookware Needed: Kabobs go straight on the grill, so you don't have to worry about scrubbing pots and pans after you've finished cooking your meal.
Customizable: If you're camping with finicky eaters or those who have dietary restrictions, kabobs have the unique potential to be modified on an individual basis.
Cooking for a Group: Cooking for a large company at camping might be difficult, but happily, grilled kabobs are a terrific option! Because these are cooked on a grill, you won't need to have extra stoves or skillets on hand. You'll be all set if you marinade enough meat and chop enough vegetables for your gathering.

Ingredients2 tablespoons olive oil, divided 1 small yellow onion, diced 2-3 cloves garlic, minced 1 pound tomatoes, finely chopped 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano 1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil 1 teaspoon salt 4 medium zucchini, (about 1.5 lbs) 4 medium yellow summer squash, (about 1.5 lbs) 2 large Chinese eggplants, (about 1 lb) InstructionsMAKE THE SAUCE: Over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet until shimmering.

Add the chopped tomatoes, oregano, basil, and salt and stir well. Simmer over medium heat until the kebabs are done, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt to taste. Grill the kebabs directly on the grill grate over the fire, turning frequently so all sides cook evenly. Cook about 20 minutes, or until all the veggies are tender. Serve immediately topped with the tomato sauce. Nutrition (Per Serving)Calories: 150kcal |
