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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Add the raw peanuts to the saucepan and stir to coat them evenly with the syrup mixture.
Step 4
Spread the coated peanuts on the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Once the peanuts are golden brown and appear caramelized, remove them from the oven.
Step 7
Sprinkle the optional ground cinnamon (if using) over the hot peanuts and give them a quick toss to distribute evenly.
Step 8
Allow the peanuts to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will harden as they cool, becoming delightfully crunchy.
Step 9
Break apart any clusters of peanuts once cooled and store them in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
