Step 1

Preheat the smoker to 275 F.

Step 2

Prepare the beans. Add the beans to a large bowl, pour in the melted butter, season with salt, and pepper, and toss until evenly coated, then place them on a tray, making sure they're sitting in an even layer.

Step 3

Smoke. Place the tray in the smoker and smoke the green beans until tender (about 2-3 hours depending on the smoker you have), flipping them every 30 minutes. Use a pair of kitchen tongs to make the flipping process quicker.

Step 4

Serve topped with minced garlic, freshly cracked pepper, grated Parmesan or red pepper flakes, if desired.
