Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams raw unsalted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons wasabi powder
- 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the wasabi powder, reduced-sodium soy sauce, water, honey, and half the salt. Stir until you achieve a smooth paste.
Place the raw unsalted peanuts in a large mixing bowl and pour the wasabi mixture over them.
Toss the peanuts thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the wasabi mixture.
Spread the coated peanuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, stirring the peanuts every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking and to prevent sticking.
Remove the peanuts from the oven and sprinkle the remaining salt over them while they're still warm. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet; the coating will harden as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the wasabi peanuts to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to two weeks.
