Steps

  • 1

    180 ˚F / 82 ˚C

  • 2

    Make the hummus. Drain and rinse the chickpeas and spread out in a single layer on a sheet tray.

  • 3

    Place the tray directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and smoke for 15-20 minutes, or to desired smoke level.

    180 ˚F / 82 ˚C

    Remove the chickpeas from the grill and increase the Traeger temperature to 500˚F.

  • 5

    In the bowl of a food processor, combine the smoked chickpeas, tahini, garlic, olive oil, salt, and lemon juice, and process until mixed well but not completely smooth. Transfer to a bowl and reserve.

  • 6

    Toss the eggplant, zucchini, squash, and portobellos with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

    Place the veggies directly on the grill grates, mushrooms gill-side-up. Close the lid and cook the veggies until grill marks develop and veggies are tender, 10-15 minutes for sliced veggies, 20-25 min for mushrooms.
