Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower appox 2 lbs
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the smoker to 220°F (105°C). We recommend using apple, cherry or hickory hardwood pellets.
  • It’s best to pre-cook the cauliflower. You can do this by cooking for 2 minutes in the microwave or 0 minutes in the Instant Pot, or boil in a pot of water for 5 minutes. You can skip this step if you’re planning to cook the cauliflower for 2+ hours on the smoker alongside other things.
  • Mix together the seasonings with the olive oil. Brush or rub the seasoning mix evenly all over the cauliflower head.
  • Place the cauliflower directly on the grill.
  • Smoke for 60-90 minutes, until fork tender.
