Ingredients
- 2 cups raw peanuts
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw peanuts and vegetable oil. Stir well to coat the peanuts evenly.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the chili powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, sugar, and salt.
Step 4
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the peanuts and toss until every peanut is thoroughly coated with the seasoning.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned peanuts in an even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 6
Bake the peanuts for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the peanuts to cool completely on the pan. They will crisp up as they cool.
Step 8
Transfer the cooled spicy hot peanuts to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately as a crunchy, flavorful snack.
