Xanthan Gum Free Honey Roasted Peanuts
Sticky, sweet, and just a little salty, these honey roasted peanuts are the kind of snack that disappears faster than you expect. A simple glaze of honey, butter, and sugar coats every peanut before a low-and-slow roast in the oven transforms them into something seriously crunchy and caramelized. The optional pinch of cayenne adds a gentle heat that plays beautifully against the sweetness — totally worth it if you like a little kick. Store-bought flavored nuts are often a minefield of additives and thickeners, but every ingredient here is clean and straightforward, with nothing hidden in the mix. The hardest part is waiting the full 15 minutes for the coating to harden before you dig in. Once it does, you'll have a glossy, crunchy batch that's perfect for snacking, gifting, or topping a salad.
