Almost-Famous Honey-Roasted Peanuts
- Cooking spray
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Kosher salt
- 2 cups unsalted raw peanuts
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F with a rack positioned in the middle of the oven.
- Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Combine the sugar, honey, 3 tablespoons water, the vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large heavy-bottomed pot.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add the peanuts and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins simmering, about 1 minute.
- Increase the heat to medium high and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the sugar mixture starts to dry out and clings to the nuts, 2 to 4 more minutes.
- Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and spread in an even layer.
- Bake the nuts until the sugar coating begins melting, about 5 minutes.
- Continue baking, stirring occasionally, until the nuts are golden brown and glazed in spots, 6 to 8 more minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and stir the nuts to distribute the caramel.
- Let cool on the baking sheet.
- Store, covered, at room temperature for up to 1 week.
