Description

Smoked Broccoli – learn how to make an easy and delicious smoked broccoli recipe that everyone will love! The perfect side dish!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups broccoli florets
  • olive or avocado oil
  • kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Set smoker temp to 225 degrees F. 
  2. Cut the broccoli into florets (bite-sized pieces).
  3. Prepare a grill basket or use a piece of heavy duty foil to create a basket; if using foil I recommend spraying with olive oil to prevent sticking. 
  4. Place the broccoli in the basket. Drizzle broccoli with olive oil and sprinkle generously with kosher salt. Massage oil into the broccoli so it’s coated all over. 
  5. Place basket of prepared broccoli on the smoker and close the lid. 
  6. Let smoke for 30-60 minutes or until they have reached your desired doneness.*
  7. Remove and serve immediately. 

Notes

  • *Smoke Time: the ultimate smoke time will depend upon a variety of factors including humidity, outdoor temp, hot spots on your smoker, etc.  It will also depend upon how you like your broccoli cooked. For a more firm broccoli you might want to pull it off at the 30 minute mark. If you want a softer broccoli, then an hour or so might be better for you.  You can also smoke for longer than an hour, but at around the 90 minute mark the broccoli will start to shrivel up a bit.  If you want a REALLY soft broccoli I would recommend steaming the florets for a few minutes before smoking. 
  • Check along they way: given the nature of smoking I would check their progress along the way using these times as your guideline!
