These Easy Smoked Vegetables are so quick and easy yet have a delicious balsamic on them, plus the flavor from the smoker makes them the best vegetables you’ll have! These are so easy to make and are one of my favorite side dishes to make when we smoke things like our Easy Smoked Pork Loin and BBQ Dry Rubbed Smoked Whole Chicken.

The possibilities are endless with this recipe. You can also add sweet potatoes or potatoes, just make sure you dice them small so they cook through quickly. I’ve also added brussels sprouts, yellow onion, asparagus or whatever vegetables I have in the refrigerator that need to get used up!

I think we easily have this side dish 2-3 times per week. I make them in the oven, on the grill or on the smoker. It’s so versatile and because I can mix it up with different vegetables I never get tired of it!

Plus, if you are just getting your feet wet with your pellet grill this is a great recipe to do that with or if you have a busy life like us, yet want to use the pellet grill this recipe is quick so you can make it on a busy weeknight. I love recipes that take a long time, but during the week that makes it hard.

It seems that so many smoker recipes are so time consuming that I’m on a mission to create some that we can enjoy during the week too!

You know what is also awesome? I always smoke extra vegetables because I love them for meal prep for the coming week if we smoke these on a weekend. I mean you could totally smoke them during the week and use them as leftovers for lunches too!

Ingredients for Smoked Vegetables

  • Red onion
  • Red pepper
  • Zucchini
  • Yellow summer squash
  • Olive oil
  • Balsamic Vinegar
  • Garlic
  • Sea salt
  • Black pepper

2 Steps to Prepare

Like I said these are so EASY! Simply grab a mixing bowl and toss everything together.

Also, you can smoke these at a lower temp if that’s what your meat is smoking at, but it will take longer to cook through so adjust the cooking time of course!

  • Prep Smoker – Preheat your pellet grill to 350 degrees. We used a competition blend for the wood chips, but anything would work. Experiment with the different flavors.
  • Smoke – Throw them in a grill basket and then smoke them for 30-45 minutes or until they are cooked through and caramelized.

Vegetable Options

This recipe is so versatile so you can use whatever vegetables you currently have. I love it for using up the random assortment of vegetables at the end of the week. You can even throw in some potato or sweet potato chunks.

Another option is to slice some ring sausage and toss it in there for an easy meal.

Here are some great ideas for vegetables in this recipe.

  • Fresh corn, cut into 1” pieces
  • Yellow Squash
  • Red Onion
  • Green Bell Pepper
  • Red Bell Pepper
  • Yellow Bell Pepper
  • Mushrooms
  • Brussels Sprouts, halved
  • Asparagus, cut into 1” pieces
  • Eggplant
  • Carrots
  • Cauliflower

    An excellent recipe. I have a few tricks that I use when grilling vegetables. 1. Try and cut all the veggies the same thickness (insures uniform cooking) 2. When transferring the coated seasoned veggies from the mixing bowl to the grill pan be sure and place the grill pan back on to the bowl or you will drip all the wonderful oils and seasoning on your floor when going out to the grill. 3. I check mine at around 15 minutes and stir (you don’t have to do this but it works for me. 4. I checked my earlier than 30 minutes because I like them very crispy. Once again, this is a great recipe – you can follow it exactly and you will be fine.

    Wildly inaccurate. 350 at 30-45 turns veges into burnt dehydrated toast in a smoker.

      I’m sorry these didn’t turn out for you! The recipe says about 30-45 minutes or until vegetables are caramelized and cooked through, so they may not take as long in your smoker.

    Why do my veggies keep coming out dried out with no flavor?

        Wow! The flavours were spot on! I gave my hubby a smoker for Christmas 2022. Besides our favourite pork butt, these veggies are now going to be a regular occurrence in our smoker! We did the smoked baked potatoes, from your site, as well.
        Delicious!

      I use a grill basket to put them in. I use wood pellets in the Traeger, but make sure you look as see what your specific smoker requires.
