Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175°C).
  2. Spread the raw peanuts in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
  3. Roast the peanuts in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly golden and fragrant.
  4. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately add the salad oil, chili powder, ground cumin, and dried hot red chiles.
  5. Toss the peanuts vigorously to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
  6. Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue roasting for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the peanuts are a deep golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with salt to taste, tossing again to distribute.
  8. Allow the peanuts to cool completely on the sheet to ensure they become crunchy.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature as a snack or appetizer.
