Simple Smoked Asparagus

A simple vegetable side dish to pair with your meat while you already have the smoker fired up. I’ve tried several different flavor combos but have found that olive oil, salt, and pepper work best with asparagus. Serve with lemon wedges if desired.

Step: 1

Preheat the smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Add wood chips according to manufacturer’s directions.

Step: 2

Place asparagus inside a disposable foil pan. Drizzle oil, salt, and pepper over the top. Toss to coat.

Step: 3

Place the pan on the smoker rack and smoke for 30 minutes.

The most clear way to choose a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick something different. When you’re cooking pasta, make sure for a simple vegetable . Made steak? Go for more light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to adjust with make a rice salad.

One make sure is also can apply to cooking method . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the stovetop . But often you can made a dish do double-duty .
