I confess to having a habbit...a nut habbit. I love various nuts, especially if they're roasted. When I travel, a ziplock baggie filled with nuts gets me through the long flights and make a great snack for an engergy boost in between meals. Here's a recipe I've used to roast my own...that way I can control the salt and unroasted nuts are less expensive around here.
Another confession...I don't honey roast often, but it is a nice change. Most of the time mine are roasted and then tossed in sea salt while they are still hot.
Honey Roasted Nuts
Ingredients
• 2 cups peanuts (not raw)
• 2 tablespoons butter (not margarine)
• 2-3 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon salt (optional)
Directions
1 Preheat oven to 350°F.
2 Place peanuts in a bowl.
3 Heat butter and honey together, in microwave or on stove top, stirring well; Toss with peanuts.
4 Spread peanuts on a cookie sheet and bake at 350F for 5 to 10 minutes; After the 1st 5 minutes check them & stir every 1 or 2 minutes until peanuts are golden brown - the glaze will thicken and darken.
5 Remove, stir while cooling for 5 - 10 minutes until they no longer stick together.
6 *Sprinkle with salt (optional) or mix it in with the honey & butter mixture; you can also toss with sugar.
