Smoked Asparagus
Smoked asparagus cooks in minutes and picks up just enough smoky flavor to make people ask what you did differently. I’ve been smoking meats and sides for years, and recipes like this are exactly why I keep my Traeger busy. You don’t need complicated steps or a bunch of ingredients, just fresh asparagus, a little seasoning, and the right cooking time so it stays tender instead of mushy.
