Ingredients
- 2 cups raw peanuts
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the vegetable oil to the pan and heat it for 1 minute.
Step 3
Lower the heat slightly and add the raw peanuts to the skillet. Stir continuously to ensure even toasting, cooking for about 5-7 minutes, until they are golden brown and fragrant.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and sugar together to combine.
Step 5
Once the peanuts are toasted, lower the heat to low and sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the peanuts.
Step 6
Toss the peanuts gently in the skillet to coat them evenly with the spice mixture. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the spices to meld with the peanuts.
Step 7
Remove the peanuts from the skillet and spread them on a baking sheet or large plate to cool slightly. The spice coating will adhere as the peanuts cool.
Step 8
Once cooled, transfer the hot and spicy peanuts to an airtight container or serve immediately. Enjoy!
