Smoky roasted vegetables on a sheet pan with Scott's Signature Spice Rub

Chef Scott's Smoky Smoked Roasted Vegetables

ho says the smoker is just for meat? These smoky roasted vegetables are a showstopper side dish — or a hearty main — packed with bold flavor from Chef Scott's Blackened Kitchen Shaker. Caramelized edges, tender centers, and that unmistakable smoke kiss make this one you'll come back to all season long.

Ingredients

  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 2 red bell peppers, chopped
  • 2 yellow bell peppers, chopped
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 2 large carrots, sliced
  • 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Scott's Blackened Kitchen Shaker
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your smoker to 375°F using your preferred wood (hickory or applewood work great here).
  2. Prep the veggies — chop everything into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
  3. Season — toss all vegetables in olive oil, then coat generously with Scott's Blackened Kitchen Shaker. The blackened spice blend brings smoky, savory depth to every bite.
  4. Arrange in a single layer on a large sheet pan or cast iron tray.
  5. Smoke for 35–45 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until vegetables are tender and caramelized with golden edges.
  6. Finish with fresh parsley and serve hot straight off the smoker.

Scott's Tips

  • Don't overcrowd the pan — give those veggies room to breathe and caramelize.
  • Want more char? Crank the heat to 425°F for the last 10 minutes.
  • These pair perfectly alongside smoked brisket, ribs, or pulled pork.
  • Leftovers? Toss them into a grain bowl or wrap the next day.
  • Grab your Blackened Kitchen Shaker here — it's the secret weapon in this recipe!

Fire up the smoker and let the magic happen. 🔥
