Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw peanuts
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, honey, water, and salt over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture starts to bubble gently.
Add the raw peanuts to the saucepan and stir to coat them evenly with the syrup mixture.
Spread the coated peanuts on the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Bake the peanuts in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring thoroughly every 10 minutes to ensure they roast evenly and don’t burn.
Once the peanuts are golden brown and appear caramelized, remove them from the oven.
Sprinkle the optional ground cinnamon (if using) over the hot peanuts and give them a quick toss to distribute evenly.
Allow the peanuts to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will harden as they cool, becoming delightfully crunchy.
Break apart any clusters of peanuts once cooled and store them in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
