Ingredients

Candied Peanuts

  • 1⁄3 cup granulated maple sugar
  • 6 Tbsp organic extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar, divided
  • 1 cup organic shelled unsalted peanuts

  • 6 to 8 oz organic baby spinach, rinsed very well

  • Sea salt
  • Cracked black pepper 

Directions

  1. Lightly oil sheet of aluminum foil.
  2. To make peanuts, combine maple sugar, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1 tablespoon vinegar in skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring until syrup develops, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add peanuts and cook, stirring constantly, until nuts are coated with syrup and toasted, about 7 minutes. Spread nuts on foil and using a fork, separate them so they don’t stick together. Set aside to allow coating to harden.
