Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups raw almonds
  • 3 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 tbsp black pepper cracked
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp cayenne

Method
 

  1. Preheat the smoker to 225F.
  2. Toss the almonds with melted butter, pepper, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne.
  3. Spread in a single layer on a perforated pan or foil.

Notes

They firm up as they cool, so don't worry if they seem soft straight off the smoker.
