Note

Allow the peanuts to cool completely before eating or storing, as they will crisp up further as they cool.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks to maintain freshness.

For a saltier version, add a pinch of sea salt to the garlic powder before tossing.

Watch closely during the last few minutes of baking, as garlic powder can burn easily if left too long.
