Take your traditional, boring veggie platter and kick it up a notch by smoking the veggies over Mesquite splits; serve with the homemade low-fat Chipotle Ranch Dip for an exciting flavor combo.
Ingredients
(1) Broccoli crown, chopped
(1) Cauliflower crown, chopped
(1) Bell Pepper (Orange), julienned
(1) Bell Pepper (Green), julienned
Extra Virgin Olive Oil, lightly coated
Salt, to taste
instructions
Chop/julienne vegetables and spread out on an oven/bbq safe cookie sheet
Spray/coat the vegetables with EVOO, lightly (this helps the smoke to “stick” to the veggies
Heat your grill up to no hotter than 150* for cold smoking (the idea here is to add a flavor layer of smoke to the veggies and not actually cook them)
Cold smoke the veggies (We used B&B Mesquite splits) for about 30 minutes; you don’t want a heavy smoke presence just an extra flavor layer
