• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, chili powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and sugar. Stir well to form a smooth seasoning mixture.

Step 3

Add the raw peanuts to the bowl and mix thoroughly, ensuring that all the peanuts are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

Step 4

Spread the coated peanuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake the peanuts in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting.

Step 6

Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the peanuts to cool completely. They will become crunchier as they cool.
