Let’s kick things off with a firm favorite amongst peanut lovers!
This sweet yet savory snack has some super moreish ingredients. You just coat the raw peanuts in some butter, vanilla, honey, a sprinkling of salt, and the star ingredient, cinnamon, and pop it in the oven.
It doesn’t take too long to prep, and you simply roast the peanuts in the oven for a short 20 minutes. We recommend enjoying them while still warm (but you don’t have to).
And to make a spicy version, all you have to do is throw some of your favorite spices in the mix!
For those of you who don’t like too many flavors in their recipe, we wanted to include this recipe for its sheer simplicity, and lack of other ingredients to have to find to go with it.
And the other great thing about it is that you don’t even have to shell the peanuts first. You simply place the peanuts in one layer in a shallow baking pan, and just leave them there to roast at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for a while.
If you like, you can throw on some salt, too. But remember to take them out before they’re completely done because they continue to cook as they cool down.
These peanuts taste amazing, so sweet. And better yet, you can make them in a mere 10 minutes or so! Perfect for serving at parties.
The recipe works well with both raw peanuts or the roasted (but unsalted) variety, or with other types of nuts for that matter. And you don’t need many ingredients, just nuts, sugar, water, and salt.
You can also throw in some ground cinnamon or some chili powder as an optional extra – but if you’re going to use them, wait til near the end so the nuts don’t burn.
This is an incredibly simple recipe to follow, and you don’t even have to shell the peanuts before boiling them.
It does take quite a considerable amount of time to boil, but I promise you it’s worth the wait. Especially if you decide to add in the optional seasoning. You can add in some smoked paprika, shrimp boil mix, old bay seasoning, or even star anise.
And it’s good fun to make, too. All you have to do is make up a mixture of sugar, water and corn syrup, and heat it up in a skillet to get it to a hard ball consistency before adding the raw peanuts and baking soda. Then you get to watch the mixture foam up. But wait for it to cool before eating.
And it’s not too high in calories, at just 138 calories per serving.
For those of you who aren’t particularly skilled in the kitchen, you may be pleased to learn that you can roast peanuts in just minutes in your microwave oven.
