How to Make Smoked Garlic Nuts

Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).
In an 8-inch disposable aluminum foil pan, combine 2 cups of your favorite nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds, etc.) with 4 cloves of minced garlic. Toss to evenly coat.
Spread the nuts in a single layer in the prepared pan.
Place the pan on the smoker rack. Smoke for 4-6 hours, or until the nuts are fragrant and slightly darkened.
Remove from smoker and let cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.
Store leftover nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
