Servings: 8 people
Cost: $10.00
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw almonds (Be sure they are not already roasted)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt, Plus one teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat smoker to 225 degrees Fahrenheit using cherry, apple or oak.
- Place almonds in an open dish and place into the smoker for one hour. Stir after the first hour and continue smoking one more hour.
- After two hours of smoking, mix the olive oil and salt with the almonds in the same dish and stir. Close lid and smoke one additional hour.
- Remove from smoker and then add the teaspoon of salt and mix. Serve warm, or place into a food safe storage container or mason jar and store for up to 4 weeks in the pantry.
Notes
Reheating: You can reheat the almonds at any point. Simply place into a food safe dish into an oven at 225 degrees F for 15 minutes. The lower temperature is to slowly warm them versus roasting them any further.
Storing Smoked Almonds is best in an airtight freezer bag or mason jar.
