Nothing is easier than smoking nuts. 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

Ingredients
- 1 pound nuts raw. I used a mix of peanuts, pecans, almonds and cashews
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons 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).
- Pour nuts into a disposable aluminum foil half sheet pan or pie pan.
- Place onto smoker (top rack if using a Weber Smoky Mountain) and smoke for 20-25 minutes, stirring once.
- Place the nuts in a medium bowl.
- Combine the remaining ingredients in another bowl and pour over the nuts. Toss to coat completely.
- Spread nuts out on a foil-lined baking sheet to cool and dry completely.
- Serve.
- Store in an airtight container.
