Smoked Southwestern Nuts

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. The smoke adds such a wonderful flavor to the nuts that you’ll want to make a big batch. For a bit more smokiness I add chipotle powder to these smoked southwestern nuts. It also adds a little bit of heat.

These smoked southwestern nuts have a fantastic light southwestern flavor with just a little kick. Need more kick? Make my spicy smoked nuts.

Smoked Spicy Nuts

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!

Smoked Nuts

This version of 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.

Smoked Rosemary Nuts

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 raw nuts only takes 20-25 minutes, so why not make a batch or smoked rosemary today for the big game?

These smoked rosemary nuts have a fantastic light rosemary taste (and aroma). They are a wonderful variation on your ‘usual’ smoked hot nuts. Also try my spicy smoked nuts. They have a bit more kick than these rosemary-infused nuts.

Sweet Spicy and Salty Candied Pecans

We recently returned from my parent’s home, where we spent Thanksgiving. My dad has 8 or so very large pecan trees (4 are commercial and the others are ‘volunteers’). This year, one of the trees that hasn’t produced nuts for over 8 years really put out a crop. My dad had over 10 paper grocery bags already picked by the time we arrived. He picked 3 more paper bags in just a few days. Time to make sweet spicy and salty candied pecans.

Sweet, Spicy and Salty Candied Pecans

I always make sure to make off with some of dad’s pecans. This time he gave us 3 pounds of the most perfect, tasty pecans ever. These pecans are like gold. This recipe for sweet spicy and salty candied pecans makes for a fantastic snack, if you can keep from eating all of the nuts before you make it.
