    Air Fryer Roasted Peanuts! Thanks to P.T. Barnum

    You know Mr. Barnum brought us the “Greatest Show on Earth” but did you also know he sold these savory little treats at his circus. You can just hear him yelling, “Get your roasted peanuts, here!!!” This little-known food staple was going to become a star. As P.T Barnum and his circus went on tours in the late 1800s this fun, savory, and easy snack was a hit. Roasted peanuts soon became a popular snack for street vendors and at baseball games. The best thing is the simplicity of roasted peanuts, anyone can make them. I think when it’s made at home, it brings a little magic to your heart.

    Why we love making roasted peanuts in the air fryer.
