This is great cooked over the camp fire you can use any vegetable you like.
Recipe #1 16 Brussels sprouts 2 potatoes cut in 8 pieces each. 2 onions cut in 8 pieces each. Several small cloves of garlic. 16 small baby carrots. Coat the vegetables in olive oil then wrap in aluminum foil with a few pieces of butter. Cook over the camp fire about 1 hour.
You can make this any way you like. Cabbage or broccoli instead of Brussels sprouts. Tomato wedges, squash, etc. if you like. The onions, Brussels sprouts, carrots caramelize, and are sweet as sugar.
Recipe#2 Meat Loaf balls. Potato sliced in half. 1 thick slice of onion. 5 small carrots. Place 1 meat loaf ball on each aluminum foil, put catsup on the meat loaf, about 2 table spoons of cream of mushroom soup, potato, onion, carrots, salt and pepper all wrapped in aluminum foil. Cook several of these 1 for each person over the camp fire about 1 hour. Each aluminum foil pack is a whole meal with meat and vegetables.
Recipe#3 Place a slice of fish on aluminum foil with 2 pieces of butter. Cover fish with 1/4" thick lemon slices. Cover the fish with onion slices. Wrap each piece of fish, lemon, onion in aluminum foil. Make 1 for each person cook over the camp fire 45 minutes.

I'm thinking corn on the cob in foil, hearts of romaine lettuce cut in half, cut side down and drizzled with olive oil, and a nice little Delmonico steak, after the coals turn grey and glowing. Yum, camp fire food makes me think of warm weather, if it ever decides to show up.

I don't like brussels sprouts. But I love campfire cooking. One of the foods in my son's limited palatable food diet is sweet potatoes. I wrap one up and toss it in the coals and remove it with tongs and he is one happy camper. It's a little tricky guessing the correct cooking time, but it seems to always work out fine. Last camping trip, we cooked hotdogs in tinfoil and then had the bright idea to cook some bacon in tin foil, too. It was the precooked kind. It actually worked out well, too. We sat around the campfire, singing songs and eating bacon.

It's not foil, but it is aluminum... Cut the top of an empty beer can all the way around, except leave a 1/2" or so still connected on the opposite side from the drinking hole, then bend the top up so you can stick a hot dog stick through the hole as a "pot-passer" (as Granny would say). Put an egg inside, fill it with water and put it in the coals. When the water's gone the egg's hard-boiled. Since the can is hanging from one side and unbalanced it'll tip when you pick it up with the stick, so watch out you don't dump water on the fire. If you drink pounders you can avoid that by not filling it up all the way.
