Ingredients
- 2 cups raw peanuts (skin-on or peeled)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground chili flakes (optional, for heat)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw peanuts with vegetable oil. Toss well to coat the peanuts evenly.
Step 3
Add soy sauce, sugar, Chinese five spice powder, salt, and ground chili flakes (if using) to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all peanuts are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 4
Spread the coated peanuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on the peanuts to avoid burning.
Step 6
Remove the peanuts from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Step 7
Once fully cooled, transfer the peanuts to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Step 8
Enjoy your Five Spice Peanuts as a snack or garnish for rice dishes and salads!
