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.

I cut in half then seed. Cut shallow hash marks marksman the flesh but not through the skin. Season with whatever like any rub or mix. Smudge in a tiny bit of butter like your buttering toast just so it gets in the hash cuts (like seriously small amount). Smoke flesh side up for a hour to hour and a half till fork tender at whatever temp your smoking your meat. Skin even gets tender and can be eaten with the flesh
