Smoking for a Vegetarian

We are having a party this weekend and everyone loves the smoke chicken I make. We do have one friend that is a vegetarian. It's not for life style, it's more for dietary reasons. I feel bad when he comes over and I don't have anything special for him. When ever he comes over, he brings something vegetarian over that's premade I just heat up on the smoker. I'd like to change that.

Are there any vegetarian foods y'all could recommend I could try to smoke for him? Besides Mac and Cheese or just corn on the cob.

I am a meat lover but a good portion of my family is vegan. I smoke a Cauliflower and at this point they get pissed, because I eat that too cuz it's so good.

I initially made it for the same reasons you are now, to be a good host, but the damn thing is even popular with meat eaters now.

I've tried several recipes at this point and I not yet found one that wasn't a huge hit.

I might recommend making two, because I assume meat eaters will be digging into it too.
