Pistachio Free Honey Roasted Peanuts
Roasted nuts from a bag can be a minefield when you're avoiding certain tree nuts — shared facilities and mixed blends make it hard to know exactly what you're getting. Making your own batch at home puts you fully in control of every ingredient, and this version keeps things beautifully simple. Raw peanuts get tossed in a warm glaze of honey, butter, and sugar before hitting the oven, where they slowly caramelize into something deeply golden and irresistible. A pinch of kosher salt balances the sweetness, and a little cayenne is there if you want a subtle kick. The hardest part is waiting for them to cool completely so the coating can set into that satisfying, crunchy shell. Once they do, you've got a snack that's sweet, salty, and just a little addictive — perfect for grazing, gifting, or topping a salad.
