A delightful take on roasted peanuts, enhanced with a touch of spice and a hint of sweetness.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and honey.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the honey evenly coats the peanuts.
Add the raw peanuts to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Use a spatula to gently fold the peanuts into the mixture.
Spread the coated peanuts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Ensure the peanuts are not overlapping for even roasting.
Roast the peanuts in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Keep an eye on the peanuts to prevent over-roasting.
Remove the peanuts from the oven and let them cool completely before serving.
Cooling allows the seasoning to set and enhances the crunch.
