Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300&# 194;°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Spread the raw peanuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Roast the peanuts in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until they are fragrant and lightly golden.
  4. While the peanuts roast, combine chili powder, paprika, red pepper flakes, and salt in a small bowl.
  5. Remove the peanuts from the oven and immediately toss them with the spice mixture while they are still hot to help the seasoning adhere.
  6. Spread the seasoned peanuts back onto the baking sheet and let them cool completely before serving or storing.
