Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw peanuts
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0 Olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the raw peanuts under running water to remove any dirt or impurities. Drain well.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, combine water and salt, stirring until the salt is dissolved. Add the rinsed peanuts to the salted water and let them soak for 5 minutes. This step helps the peanuts absorb some salt.
Step 3
After 5 minutes, drain the peanuts well and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Sprinkle the spice mix over the peanuts and toss until they are evenly coated.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 6
Spread the peanuts in a single thin layer on the prepared baking sheet. Take care to ensure they are not overlapping too much.
Step 7
Evenly spray the peanuts with olive oil spray. This will help them crisp up while maintaining a low-fat profile.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the peanuts for about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 9
After 20 minutes, check for crispiness. If they haven't reached the desired crispness, continue roasting for an additional 5 minutes, checking frequently to prevent burning.
Step 10
Once crispy and golden brown, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Step 11
Store the cooled peanuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
