Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw peanuts
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw peanuts and vegetable oil. Stir well to coat the peanuts evenly.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the chili powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, sugar, and salt.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the peanuts and toss until every peanut is thoroughly coated with the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned peanuts in an even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Bake the peanuts for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the peanuts to cool completely on the pan. They will crisp up as they cool.
Transfer the cooled spicy hot peanuts to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately as a crunchy, flavorful snack.
