Airfryer Honey Roasted Peanuts (Salad Topping Mini Batch, Grams)

1.Preheat your airfryer to 160°C (320°F) for 3 minutes.

2.In a small saucepan over very low heat (or in a heatproof bowl set over another bowl of hot water), gently warm the honey and oil until liquid and easily mixed—do not let it bubble. Stir to combine.

3.Add the peanuts to a mixing bowl and pour the warm honey-oil mixture over them. Toss to coat evenly.

4.Sprinkle in the fine sea salt, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper (if using), and mix thoroughly so all peanuts are coated.

5.Lightly spray the airfryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Spread the coated peanuts in a single, even layer in the basket.

6.Airfry at 160°C (320°F) for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket every 3 minutes to promote even roasting. Watch closely in the final minutes to prevent burning—the nuts should turn golden and become fragrant.

7.Immediately transfer the hot peanuts to a parchment-lined plate or tray when golden. While hot, sprinkle with a little extra salt if desired. Use a fork to gently separate clusters.

8.Allow to cool completely; the peanuts will become crisp as they cool.

9.Once cooled, sprinkle the honey roasted peanuts over your salad and enjoy!
