Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams raw peanuts
- 3 tablespoons wasabi paste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the wasabi paste, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and garlic powder. Whisk together until you have a smooth mixture.
Add the raw peanuts to the bowl. Stir well to ensure that all the peanuts are evenly coated with the wasabi mixture.
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the wasabi-coated peanuts. Use a spatula or your hands to toss the peanuts so that they are uniformly dusted with cornstarch. This will help them achieve a crispy texture once baked.
Spread the peanuts out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are spread evenly to allow for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the tray and give the peanuts a stir to ensure even cooking.
Return the peanuts to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until they are dry and crispy.
Once baked, remove the peanuts from the oven and sprinkle with salt immediately while they are still warm to enhance the flavor.
Allow the peanuts to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to an airtight container for storage.
Enjoy the deliciously spicy homemade wasabi peanuts as a snack or gift them to friends and family!
