Equipment

  • Heavy-duty aluminum foil
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Spoon

Ingredients

  • 2 small sweet potatoes peeled and diced 1/2"
  • 1/2 cup black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 red bell pepper diced
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 eggs optional, crack on top before sealing

Instructions

  • Cut two large squares of heavy-duty foil. Divide sweet potatoes, black beans, bell pepper, and green onions evenly onto each piece.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat.
  • If using, make a small well in the center and crack an egg into each packet.
  • Fold foil over, crimping tightly to seal each packet.
  • Place packets over hot campfire coals and cook 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until sweet potatoes are tender and eggs are set.
  • Carefully open packets (beware steam) and serve hot.

Notes

Foil packets are an easy way to make hearty breakfasts with zero cleanup. Crack eggs on top just before sealing for a runny yolk or skip for a vegan version.
