Ingredients
- 500 grams raw peanuts
- 60 grams cornstarch
- 30 grams rice flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 120 ml water
- 500 ml vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch, rice flour, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to form a homogenous spice mixture.
Step 2
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, mixing continuously until a smooth batter is formed. The batter should be slightly thick but still liquid enough to coat the peanuts evenly.
Step 3
Add the raw peanuts to the batter, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Stir gently to avoid breaking the peanuts.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. The oil should be around 175°C (350°F). To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small amount of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and rises to the surface immediately, the oil is ready.
Step 5
Carefully drop the batter-coated peanuts into the hot oil, stirring occasionally to prevent them from sticking together.
Step 6
Fry the peanuts in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can cause uneven cooking. Fry until the peanuts are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Step 7
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried peanuts from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 8
Allow the peanuts to cool completely. Store in an airtight container once cooled to maintain their crispiness.
Step 9
Serve the Gluten-Free Crispy Fried Peanuts as a snack or appetizer anytime you crave a delicious, crunchy treat.
