What vegetables are good to cook in the smoker?

Potatoes, onions, broccoli, asparagus, zucchini, squash, carrots and bell peppers are all great for the smoker.

How to cook vegetables on a traeger grill?

I prefer using a throw away tin foil tray so you don't have to worry about vegetables falling through the grates. Cut the vegetables in large chunks and toss with olive oil and seasoning. Smoke at a 350 degree temperature for 35-45 minutes until softened.

Notes

Work quickly when opening the lid of the smoker. The temperature will drop quickly.

Cook until the vegetables are softened, but the zucchini and squash is still holding together. I like to cut the zucchini and squash into large chunks so they don't overcook.
