Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw peanuts
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
In a small saucepan, combine the honey, brown sugar, and butter over medium heat. Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and bubbling, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chipotle chili powder, paprika, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
Place the raw peanuts in a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey mixture over the peanuts and stir until they are evenly coated.
Spread the coated peanuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the peanuts in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even roasting.
Once the peanuts are golden and fragrant, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the top while they are still hot.
Allow the peanuts to cool completely on the baking sheet. As they cool, they will crisp up and become sticky-sweet and crunchy.
Once cooled, transfer the peanuts to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately. Enjoy your Chipotle Honey Roasted Peanuts!
