Notes
Nadia's Expert Tips And Notes
- Use frozen beans without thawing. Adding them directly to the smoker allows them to warm gradually.
- Spread them in a single layer. Overcrowding causes steaming instead of smoking. If needed, use a larger skillet or divide between two pans to maintain airflow.
- Choose mild wood pellets. Apple, cherry, or pecan provides subtle sweetness that complements vegetables. Stronger woods like mesquite can overpower their natural flavor.
- Adjust for texture preference. For tender beans with a slight bite, check around the 80–90 minute mark. For deeper caramelization, increase the heat briefly at the end.
