Vegetables

I have not found a vegetable (or fruit) that does not taste better when smoked on the grill.  Whether you are making some of the best home fries you have ever tasted or adding a slight smoke taste to your bruchetta, I promise making vegetables in a smoker will be faster, easier, and tastier.

Home fries

Cut potatoes into cubes.

Coat with olive oil.

Cook direct at 350 degrees in a basket for 40 minutes.

Shake basket every 5 minutes. 

Add salt and pepper when finished.

Bruchetta

Ingredients

              1 French baguette cut to size (I recommend halving the baguette lengthwise and cutting each half into 5 inch slices)

              8 ounces whole grape tomatoes

              4 cloves garlic

              3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

              5 tablespoons chopped parsley

Add butter, oregano, and hot pepper flakes to taste to baguette slices.

Add whole grape tomatoes and baguette slices (butter side up) directly to grill at 350 degrees direct heat for 4 minutes.

Flip halfway through. 

Remove from heat, add tomatoes to ice water to cool – 10 minutes. 

While the tomatoes are cooling, dice garlic and parsley.

Cut tomatoes into quarters

Add the tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and parsley to a bowl and mix.

Add mixture to the top of the baguette slices
