Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1. 1

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

   Aproximativ 5 min.

   Nota bucătarului: Using parchment paper prevents the peanuts from sticking and makes cleanup much easier.

2. 2

   In a medium mixing bowl, combine the raw peanuts, neutral cooking oil, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper.

3. 3

   Stir well with a spatula or spoon until every peanut is evenly coated with the oil and spices.

   Nota bucătarului: Ensure there are no dry spots or clumps of spices for the most consistent flavor.

4. 4

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

   Nota bucătarului: A single layer is crucial for even roasting; if they are crowded, they will steam instead of becoming crisp.

5. 5

   Bake for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan once halfway through the cooking time.

   Aproximativ 25 min.

   Nota bucătarului: The peanuts are done when they are fragrant and have deepened slightly in color.

6. 6

   Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the peanuts cool completely on the sheet before serving.

   Aproximativ 10 min.

   Nota bucătarului: The peanuts will continue to crisp up as they cool.
