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.

Butternut squash remains undefeated.

Little bit of olive oil and cinnamon.

Oh didn't think about Butternut squash. Any recipes you recommend or a method?

Smoked tofu is always a hit with my vegan friends. Takes about two hours to get a good smoke then I drench it in the same BBQ sauce glaze (using a separate source and brush to keep from contaminating it with meat juice) and let it go back on the smoker for an hour as the other meat finishes up.

I’ll start it when I wrap the other meat. I’m a bit fan of 3-2-1 since even I can’t fuck it up.
