Ingredients
- 2 cups raw peanuts
- 0.75 cup erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine erythritol sweetener, water, ground cinnamon, and sea salt over medium heat, stirring until the sweetener has dissolved completely.
Step 3
Add the raw peanuts to the saucepan and stir well, ensuring all the peanuts are evenly coated with the sweetener mixture.
Step 4
Increase the heat to medium-high and continue to stir the peanuts constantly until the liquid begins to boil and appear syrupy, this should take about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and mix in the vanilla extract, continuing to stir for an additional 2 minutes until the peanuts are fully caramelized and the mixture begins to crystalize.
Step 6
Spread the candied peanuts evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to separate them to prevent clumping.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, stirring half-way through to ensure even roasting.
Step 8
Remove the peanuts from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. As they cool, the coating will harden and become crunchy.
Step 9
Once cooled, break any large clusters apart. Store the low-carb candied peanuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
