• 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) garlic powder
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) butter, melted
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) honey
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt

5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, stirring the peanuts 2 or 3 times to ensure even cooking.

8. Allow the peanuts to cool to room temperature, tossing them every few minutes to prevent sticking. Enjoy your spicy, sweet, and smoky snack!
