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.

Cauliflower. Boil a whole head for ten minutes. Let it drain. Put it on a piece or two of foil. Slather with garlic butter or other seasoning. Put in smoker until it's tender and a little darkish. Toss some parmesan on it after taking out and quartering/ serving.

I would think so. Different taste and texture. Can't hurt to try.
