Are you looking for a crunchy snack with a combination of sweet, salty and spicy? These easy to make Honey Roasted Peanuts are a delicious combination of crunchy peanuts coated with a spiced honey blend.
Just mix up some honey oil and spice, toss in the peanuts then roast them up to crunchy perfection. So easy and so delicious.
We love nuts and trail mixes at my house, but they can get expensive. It is so much cheaper to buy a big bag of plain nuts and season them up at home. And, of course, you get to add exactly what you want when you make it yourself.
Honey Roasted Peanuts Ingredients
Use any kind of nuts or any combination of nuts you prefer. I kept it simple and went with plain peanuts this time around because that's what I had in the house.
This spice mixture is inspired by a recipe from one of my uncles but adjusted for our tastes. If you use a spicy curry powder, you may wish to reduce or eliminate the cayenne pepper. Unless you are part of the "mo' hotter mo' better" crowd.
Besides nuts and spice, you just need a little honey and oil to make the spices stick to the nuts and balance the spice with a little sweet.
