OK, so we don’t really know how to infuse vegetables with bacon flavor, but this really tastes like it was. Pictured here with roasted carrots.

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch white asparagus

• Olive oil

• Salt and white pepper

• Applewood chips

Equipment:

• Pressure smoker such as InstaPot or Emson Pressure Smoker

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to Lo Broil.

2. Trim ends off the white asparagus, then place in baking dish.

3. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and white pepper.

4. Place in oven for about 10 min or until the ends are just starting to blacken.

5. Place applewood chips and 1 cup water in the bottom of your pressure smoker.

6. Move asparagus to the top tray of pressure smoker and hot smoke for 10 min.
