Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Raw peanuts
- 3 tablespoons Wasabi powder
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the wasabi powder and water to form a smooth paste. Set it aside for a few minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
In a mixing bowl, combine the raw peanuts, soy sauce, maple syrup, and salt. Mix well to ensure the peanuts are evenly coated.
Add the wasabi paste to the peanut mixture, and stir thoroughly until the peanuts are uniformly covered with the wasabi paste.
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the wasabi-coated peanuts and stir again. The cornstarch helps to keep the wasabi adhering to the peanuts and adds a crunchy texture once baked.
Spread the coated peanuts evenly over the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking. The peanuts should be golden brown and crunchy.
Remove the peanuts from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crunchier as they cool.
Once the peanuts have cooled, store them in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to two weeks.
