Get Your Grill On

These are a great snack and are a whole lot cheaper and tastier than the commercial variety.

• 1 pound of raw almonds
• 1T kosher sea salt
• 1t peanut oil
• 1T honey
• 1-2T of your favorite barbecue rub
• Enough water to cover almonds

I dissolved the salt into the water, added the almonds, and let them soak overnight. The next day I let them drain in a colander for about thirty minutes, and then put them in a mixing bowl.

I coated the almonds with the oil, mixing them with a large spoon until they were well-coated. I added the honey and mixed them again. Finally I gave them a good coating of the rub and mixed them one last time.

I set the Big Green Egg up for and indirect cook at 250°F using hickory for smoke. The almonds were spread out into a single layer on a pizza pan. I smoked them for 5 minutes, gave them a little shake and another light dusting of rub, and then let them smoke until they got dark and crunchy - about 20 minutes total.
