Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw peanuts, shelled and skinless
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the raw peanuts under cold water to remove any excess dirt or debris. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
In a heavy-bottomed skillet or frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
Step 3
Add the peanuts to the hot oil, ensuring they're in a single layer. Fry them, stirring frequently, until they turn a golden brown color, about 7-8 minutes.
Step 4
Once the peanuts are fried, remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
Step 5
While the peanuts are still warm, sprinkle them with salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper if using. Toss well to ensure even coating.
Step 6
Allow the peanuts to cool completely. They will become crunchier as they cool.
Step 7
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
