Have you heard the secret to best tasting roasted veggies? Beside making them on the smoker, you must marinade them!Yes, it is that simple. Just like we marinade proteins we must do the same with veggies.
Wash, peel and cut your veggies. Try to keep them uniform in size. This will ensure even cooking.
Transfer them into a casserole or deep dish.
Pour over the vinaigrette, I used ½ cup. Don't drench them. Using a large spoon mix the veggies with the vinaigrette to coat evenly.
Set the veggies aside to marinade for 15-20 minutes.
Preheat smoker to 400F.
Place a piece of parchment paper on the baking sheet.
Transfer the veggies onto the baking sheet.
Smoke at 400F for 50 min.
Half way through the smoke, toss the veggies to ensure even roasting.
The veggies are done when fork tender, crispy and browned.
