Ingredients:
- 2 cups raw peanuts
- 1/4 cup Rosier raw honey
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Honey Mixture
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the raw honey and melted coconut oil. Microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and runny. Alternatively, you can heat the honey and coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat until melted and well combined.
3. Toss the Peanuts
In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw peanuts, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using). Pour the honey mixture over the peanuts and toss until they are evenly coated.
4. Roast the Peanuts
Spread the honey-coated peanuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded. This will allow them to roast evenly and become crunchy.
5. Roast in the Oven
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the peanuts for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning, as oven temperatures can vary.
6. Cool and Enjoy
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the honey roasted peanuts cool completely on the pan. As they cool, they will become crunchier. Once cooled, transfer the peanuts to an airtight container for storage or serve them immediately.
Recipe Variations:
-
Spicy Honey Roasted Peanuts: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the honey mixture for a spicy kick.
-
Nutty Mix: Mix different types of nuts like almonds, cashews, and walnuts with the peanuts for a varied nut mix.
-
Sweet and Salty: Sprinkle some flaky sea salt over the roasted peanuts as soon as they come out of the oven to enhance the sweet and salty flavor contrast.
