Instructions

  1. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Set it aside for now.
  2. Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the honey, peanuts, red pepper flakes, and 5-spice powder.
  3. Cook, stirring constantly, until peanuts are brown and glazed (about 5 minutes). Keep the heat no higher than medium and watch very carefully as the honey and nuts will burn easily.
  4. Spread the peanuts on a foil-lined baking sheet and sprinkle immediately with salt.
  5. Allow to cool completely; transfer to a paper-towel lined plate and blot with additional paper towel to remove excess oil.

Notes

  • The cooled nuts can sit at room temperature or in the fridge for about a week.
  • May be frozen for up to 3 months in an airtight container. Thaw at room temp before serving.
