Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw peanuts (shelled, unsalted)
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium saucepan, combine the honey, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add the raw peanuts to the saucepan and stir well to coat them evenly with the honey mixture.
Spread the coated peanuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to ensure even roasting. Keep a close eye on them towards the end to avoid burning.
Remove the peanuts from the oven and immediately sprinkle the granulated sugar and salt evenly over them while they’re still warm. Stir gently to ensure even coating.
Allow the peanuts to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crisp as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the honey roasted peanuts to an airtight container or serve immediately. Enjoy!
