What a time to be outdoors! When the doors of schools and colleges are shut and all the exams are over, it is always pleasurable to meet up with friends and go for a long summer camp trip. As you set up the camp in the woods and light up the fire, stories start cooking up and the moment gets etched in the memories.
Camping can be fun and adventurous when you have ample resources. Especially at night when the excitement of being close to nature does not let you sleep, it is always great to get out of the tent and stir up some delicious recipes on an open fire. As the fragrance reaches every corner of the camp, everyone will join you in to share a good snack.
There’s hardly enough time to prepare an elaborate meal, and some snacks are great to curbl hunger. And roasting skewered vegetables can be a perfect idea! Here are some mouth-watering vegetable roast recipes you can try to create a festive atmosphere during late hours.
