Ingredients
- 250 grams Raw peanuts
- 3 tablespoons Wasabi powder
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the wasabi powder and water to form a smooth paste. Set it aside for a few minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the raw peanuts, soy sauce, maple syrup, and salt. Mix well to ensure the peanuts are evenly coated.
Step 4
Add the wasabi paste to the peanut mixture, and stir thoroughly until the peanuts are uniformly covered with the wasabi paste.
Step 5
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the wasabi-coated peanuts and stir again. The cornstarch helps to keep the wasabi adhering to the peanuts and adds a crunchy texture once baked.
Step 6
Spread the coated peanuts evenly over the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking. The peanuts should be golden brown and crunchy.
Step 8
Remove the peanuts from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crunchier as they cool.
Step 9
Once the peanuts have cooled, store them in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to two weeks.
