When a guy named Meathead says one of his favorite things to smoke is a vegetable, it is time to pay attention. These sweet baubles are superb for salads, on a pizza or focaccia, in pasta, baked into breads, on baked potatoes, in stews, in pot pies, in roulades like porchetta, on a BLT, stuffed into chicken breasts or pork chops, in omelets or scrambled eggs, in anything with a cream sauce, or anything you would do with raisins or sun-dried tomatoes.

Total time: 6 hours Makes as many as you can fit on the grill
  • Tomatoes—that’s the only ingredient
Special Tools:
  • Grill topper (or something to keep them from falling through the grates when they shrink)
Pop the stems off the tomatoes and stab them 3 or 4 times with the tip of a sharp knife so moisture can escape.
