Nothing is easier than smoking nuts. I use my Weber Smokey Mountain Smoker, but you can also smoke them on your gas or charcoal grill using a couple of added wood chunks. Smoking nuts only takes 20-25 minutes. If you want your smoked spicy nuts extra smoky and extra spicy, add a bit of chipotle powder. You won’t be sorry!
Perfectly Smoky And Spicy
This version of smoked spicy nuts isn’t in-your-face spicy. There’s a nice subtle spiciness to them, along with that great smoke flavor. They make for the perfect party treat. I like to use a mix of nuts but you can stick with your favorites instead. No one will fault you if you smoke a huge batch of almonds! I would!
Also try my fantastic smoked rosemary nuts and my smoked southwestern nuts. And my smoked peanuts in the shell are amazing too!
Smoked Spicy Nuts
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw nuts I used a mix of peanuts, pecans, almonds and cashews

- 1 tablespoon Tabasco Red Pepper sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
- Fire up your smoker for 325 F cooking over a mild wood (I used cherry). (If you are using a Weber Smoky Mountain smoker, do not add water to the water pan).

- Combine the remaining ingredients in another bowl and pour over the nuts. Toss to coat completely.
- Pour nuts into a disposable aluminum foil half sheet pan or pie pan.
