Build a campfire and allow the fire to burn until it has accumulated a bed of coals. Rake the coals into a flat bed on one side of the fire. Alternatively, preheat an outdoor grill.
- 2
Combine cauliflower, chickpeas, potatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, and onion in a large bowl.
- 3
Cut two 2-foot sections of aluminum foil and place one on top of the other. Fold the edges together so the two pieces stay together. Drizzle olive oil in the middle of the foil, leaving 4 to 5 inches on each side for folding. Place a few handfuls of the cauliflower mixture over the olive oil; season with curry powder, salt, and pepper. Spoon some vegetable broth on top. Repeat with more foil and the remaining cauliflower mixture.
- 4
Pull the two longer sides of each foil packet together over the cauliflower mixture and fold them over several times until you almost reach the center. Flatten the sides and roll them up toward the center.
- 5
Place the packets to the side of the campfire using long tongs. Cook until the cauliflower mixture feels tender when you press the packets with the tongs, 20 to 30 minutes.
- 6
Remove the packets from the fire and let them cool, about 5 minutes. Open them from the top, leaving the rolled-up sides as-is, to create a bowl.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
