  • Smoke at 350-F until the cauliflower is fork-tender.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Dry the cauliflower before adding the butter or the butter won't stick to the surface.
  • Don't skimp on the butter! It'll melt into the cauliflower as it smokes, and you can spoon up any that drips into the pan.
  • Switch up the flavors! Add some cayenne for a bit of heat, or use your favorite spice rub. Just watch that it's not too salt-heavy or your cauliflower could end up too salty.
  • Cooking times vary based on the heat of the smoker, but you'll know the cauliflower is done when it is fork-tender.
