Ingredients

• 2 cups raw peanuts
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the raw peanuts, honey, melted butter, salt, and cinnamon, if desired. Toss well to ensure all the peanuts are coated evenly.
3. Spread the coated peanuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.
4. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
5. After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and stir the peanuts gently to ensure even cooking. This will also prevent them from sticking together.
6. Place the baking sheet back in the oven and continue baking for another 10-12 minutes, or until the peanuts become golden brown.
7. Once done, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the honey roasted peanuts cool completely. They will continue to harden as they cool.
8. Once cooled, transfer the peanuts to an airtight container or enjoy them immediately. They can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
