Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g raw peanuts
- 100 ml coconut oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp optional: cayenne pepper
Instructions
Begin by heating the coconut oil in a large, deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking.
Add the raw peanuts to the pan in a single layer to ensure even cooking. You may need to fry them in batches if your pan is not large enough.
Stir the peanuts continuously to prevent them from burning and to ensure they cook evenly. Fry them for about 15 to 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and have developed a crispy texture.
While the peanuts are frying, combine the salt, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
Once the peanuts are crispy and golden, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
While the peanuts are still hot, sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over them. Toss to ensure every peanut is well-coated.
Allow the peanuts to cool completely. This will help them become even crispier as they come to room temperature.
Once cool, serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
