For some reason I’ve been hankering for a bowl of roasted peanuts. They’re perfect to have on hand when watching TV or a movie on Netflix. I prefer snacks with a little kick. These chipotle honey roasted peanuts hit the spot. You get a little smokiness from the chipotle And there’s a little heat from the chili powder. Followed by a little sweetness from the honey.
Shelling Nuts Is Good Therapy
I bought a few big bags of unshelled, raw peanuts for making these chipotle honey roasted peanuts. My wife and I sit out on the deck in the evening and shell them. A pound-and-a-half bag of raw in-shell nuts produces about a pound of shelled nuts.
Let ‘Em Cool A Bit
When you first take these nuts out of the oven they won’t quite be crispy. Let them cool completely before serving and they will crisp up just fine.
