Description

These Chili Peanuts are the ultimate crunchy, savory snack with a kick. Raw peanuts are roasted until golden and then tossed with a vibrant mix of chili powder, ground cumin, and dried hot red chiles. The result is a deeply flavorful treat that balances heat with nutty richness. They make a fantastic addition to cocktails, salads, or simply enjoyed straight from the bowl. Easy to prepare with pantry staples, these addictive nuts are great for parties or quiet evenings at home.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. Spread the raw peanuts in a single layer on a large rimmed baking pan.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until the peanuts are lightly golden and fragrant, about 15 minutes.
  4. Remove the pan from the oven and let cool slightly.
  5. While still warm, add the chili powder, ground cumin, chopped dried hot red chiles, and salad oil to the pan.
  6. Toss or stir well to coat the peanuts evenly with the spices and oil.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the peanuts are a deep golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and transfer to a plate or bowl.
  9. Season with salt to taste while still warm.
  10. Allow to cool completely before serving to achieve maximum crunch.
  11. Serve warm or at room temperature as a snack or garnish.
