Ingredients

• 500 grams raw peanuts
• 3 tablespoons wasabi paste
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the wasabi paste, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and garlic powder. Whisk together until you have a smooth mixture.

Step 3

Add the raw peanuts to the bowl. Stir well to ensure that all the peanuts are evenly coated with the wasabi mixture.

Step 4

Sprinkle the cornstarch over the wasabi-coated peanuts. Use a spatula or your hands to toss the peanuts so that they are uniformly dusted with cornstarch. This will help them achieve a crispy texture once baked.

Step 5

Spread the peanuts out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are spread evenly to allow for even baking.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the tray and give the peanuts a stir to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Return the peanuts to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until they are dry and crispy.

Step 8

Once baked, remove the peanuts from the oven and sprinkle with salt immediately while they are still warm to enhance the flavor.

Step 9

Allow the peanuts to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to an airtight container for storage.

Step 10

Enjoy the deliciously spicy homemade wasabi peanuts as a snack or gift them to friends and family!
