Honey roasted peanuts are dry roasted peanuts that can be made at home or bought commercially. They are often used as a snack or added to other foods, and can be made with honey or other sweeteners. Homemade versions can be made by cooking peanuts, sugar, honey, and water on the stove or by spreading a mixture of peanuts and honey on a baking sheet and roasting in the oven.
Honey roasted peanuts are a type of dry roasted peanut. Dry roasted peanuts are considered cocktail peanuts and are roasted for one hour in moderately hot rotary commercial ovens. Because they are roasted and salted, all types of dry roasted peanuts are generally more expensive than other types of peanuts, but they are also more flavorful and crunchy. You can also make them at home. Commercially produced honey roasted peanuts vary in their ingredients.
Some honey roasted peanuts sold in stores contain honey, but many types use mostly sugar and/or corn syrup. There may be very little honey in roasted peanuts, so it’s a good idea to read the ingredients on the package to see what sweeteners are included and in what order they’re listed. Honey Roasted Peanuts can be eaten alone as a snack or added to other foods.
Sometimes these peanuts are blended into snack mix with cereal squares and pretzels, and a seasoned butter is added before everything is mixed. This classic snack is often served in large bowls at televised sports games or at barbecues and parties. Many people prefer to simply snack on honey roasted peanuts with no other foods added. If portion size is controlled, any type of peanut can be a healthy snack since peanuts contain fiber and protein.
There are several methods of making honey roasted peanuts at home. Some people first cook the peanuts, sugar, honey and water on the stove top before spreading the mixture onto a baking sheet and cooking the peanuts for 10 to 30 minutes in a moderate oven. Another way to prepare honey roasted peanuts is to spread a mixture of peanuts and honey on a baking sheet and roast it without cooking anything on the fire first. In both methods, the peanuts should be turned at least once during roasting and should be golden brown rather than dark brown. After cooling, the Homemade Honey Roasted Peanuts should be stored in an airtight container.
