Coconut Free Honey Roasted Peanuts

Roasted peanuts from a bag are convenient, but they often come loaded with mystery oils and coatings that can make ingredient-conscious snackers nervous. This version keeps things beautifully simple — raw peanuts get tossed in a glossy mix of honey, butter, and sugar before hitting a low oven until they're deep golden and irresistibly crunchy. A pinch of kosher salt balances the sweetness, and if you're feeling bold, a little cayenne adds a slow, warming heat that makes it genuinely hard to stop snacking. Every ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify, so you know exactly what you're eating. The slow roast at 325°F is the secret to an even, caramelized coating that crisps up perfectly as the peanuts cool — no sticky mess, just satisfying crunch. They're great on a cheese board, tossed over a salad, or honestly just eaten by the handful straight off the parchment.
