- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1.5 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lime zest, lime juice, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and olive oil. Stir well to create a seasoning mixture.
Add the raw peanuts to the bowl and toss until fully coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned peanuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the peanuts are lightly golden and fragrant.
