Smoked Veggie Cream Cheese

Smoked Veggie Cream Cheese

I love veggie cream cheese at the store, so I thought why not try to make my own recipe for Smoked Veggie Cream Cheese on my Traeger pellet smoker.

Well you can imagine it was just as yummy as I originally thought it would be.

You can serve it with bagel chips for dipping, or with some veggies like carrots and red pepper slices.

Also just on toasted bagels would be amazing.

How to make Smoked Veggie Cream Cheese

Start with a baking sheet lined with foil and two blocks of cream cheese.

Make some diagonal cuts in the cream cheese and sprinkle them with garlic powder and paprika.

Then coat some baby carrots and red pepper halves with olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper.
