Equipment
- Traeger or Pellet Smoker
- Grill Basket
Ingredients
- ½ large red onion chopped into 1" pieces
- 1 large red bell pepper chopped into 1" pieces
- 1 large zucchini squash chopped into bite sized pieces
- 1 large summer squash chopped into bite sized pieces
- 2 cups brussels sprouts stems removed and halved
For vegetable marinade
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp favorite seasoning blend
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your Traeger grill (or other pellet smoker) to 375 degrees F for 15 minutes.
- Add all marinade ingredients to a small bowl and combine well.
- Place the vegetables that have been chopped into bite sized pieces in a large bowl and drizzle with the marinade. Toss and mix the vegetables well to make sure they are well coated.
- Place vegetables in a smoker or grill basket and place the basket directly on the grill grates. Close the lid of the smoker and allow the vegetables to cook for 30-40 minutes (stirring occasionally) depending on your desired level of doneness and how caramelized you’d like them.
- Remove from the grill and enjoy!
Notes
Ingredient Notes
- Oil - Olive oil or avocado oil work great for this recipe.
- Apple cider vinegar - this ingredient can be substituted for lemon juice as well.
- Seasonings - Use your favorite seasoning blend or all purpose seasoning. I always love Trader Joe’s 21 seasoning salute or The New Primal Citrus and Herb. Garlic Salt or montreal chicken seasoning are great options as well!
- Vegetables - This recipe works well with a variety of vegetables. You can use whatever fresh and in-season veggies that you have on hand.
- If you don’t have a grill basket, you can also place the marinaded veggies in a cast iron skillet or aluminum foil packets and place directly on the electric smoker or grill.
- You can adjust the smoking time based on how quickly (or slowly) you'd like them done. Cooking them at a higher temperature for less time yields a less smokey flavor, where as cooking at a lower temperature for longer will produce veggies with more smoke flavor!
- Oak and hickory pellets will give a more intense, traditional smoke flavor and pellets such as apple and cherry will give a less intense and sweeter smoke flavor.
