Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw peanuts (skin-on or peeled)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground chili flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw peanuts with vegetable oil. Toss well to coat the peanuts evenly.
Add soy sauce, sugar, Chinese five spice powder, salt, and ground chili flakes (if using) to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all peanuts are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Spread the coated peanuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on the peanuts to avoid burning.
Remove the peanuts from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Once fully cooled, transfer the peanuts to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Enjoy your Five Spice Peanuts as a snack or garnish for rice dishes and salads!
