This is a super easy side dish that can be smoked alongside with your main course. I use whatever veggies that I have on hand that I would normally roast in the oven. When I am cooking beef (roasts, or tri-tip) I place the veggies directly below the meat and cook for the entire time the beef. For poultry and pork I smoke the veggies above or along side.


Here's what I had on hand for this smoke. Celery, corn, taters, cauliflower, broccoli, Walla Walla sweet onion, brussel sprouts, carrots,golden beats, and not pictured a whole clove of garlic. I cut everything up except the taters, they were small enough to go in whole.



I use these 9x9 foil pans. I reuse mine and don't throw them away. They come 3 to a pack and I have been using the same 3 pack for several years.

To the veggie mix I add EVOO, sea salt, and pepper. Toss to mix. I also add a half a cube (sliced) butter to the top.


At lower smoker temps 250*-285* these will take 4 hours or so to get tender. Especially when you load the pan like this. At temps 325*-350* these take 1 1/2-2 hours. I put these in the mini-wsm right on the diffuser, It is 15* +/- higher than the upper rack. I like to give the veggies a stir once during the smoke, just to re-coat everything. These can also be done in the oven too. I usually do them at 350*.


Trimmed and seasoned tri-tip on top!


This is what you end up with !!!!



ENJOY!!!

Reinhard you wont be disappointed. You can use whatever veggies you have/like and season with whatever you have/like. Sometimes I even use the rub that I have put on the meat. Another tip that I forgot is if your under a time crunch you can foil the veggies to get through the dreaded veggie stall

Looks just right to me...

Thanks Red! We usually do a pan with every meal we smoke!
That's a beautiful and succulent looking pan of veggies. I'd be happy skipping the meat for those!
If my fiancee had her way we'd be skipping the meat

! Not a chance when I'm the cook!
 
That looks Great!  That's what I need to do more often other than everything meat and ABT's.  I found a simple smoked cabbage recipe in my smoker manual from 12 years ago:  cut a 2-3" cavity out of a whole cabbage in stem area.  Pack with butter & 2-3 bullion cubes (chicken or beef) loosely wrap in a foil bowl stem side up with foil well open at the top.  Add butter as needed and smoke 4-5 hours @ 225.

That sounds like a great side dish, going to have to give it a try!
