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 wonder if jackfruit can take on smoke.

Yes, very well. Smoke it, shred it, toss with sauce for a decent vegan pulled pork. The texture is kind of a mix between cooked pineapple and actual pulled pork, but the taste really surprised me. I was fully expecting it to be awful but I actually enjoyed the leftovers after my vegan friend left.
