Equipment

Pitt Boss Smoker or other smoker

Ingredients

1 head cauliflower trimmed rinsed, dried
1/4 cup salted butter oftened
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 pinch salt
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Mix the butter with the paprika, garlic powder, onon powder, salt and pepper.
Rub the butter mixture evenly over the top of the cauliflower.
Pop the cauliflower into a cast iron pan or other dish that can go on the smoker.
Smoke at 350-F until the cauliflower is fork-tender.

Notes

Dry the cauliflower before adding the butter or the butter will not stick.
Don’t be tingey on the butter! It’ll melt into the cauliflower as it smokes, and you can spoon up any that drips into the pan.
Mix 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.
If your cauliflower begins to get too brown, cover lightly with foil.
I used a Pitt Boss Smoker but any other smoker will work as well.
