INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups raw peanuts (with skins)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or any cooking oil of your choice
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika or red chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, toss the raw peanuts with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the cumin powder, paprika or red chili powder, turmeric powder, garlic powder, and salt.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the oiled peanuts and toss to coat them well with the spices.
Spread the spiced peanuts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Roast the peanuts in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, stirring them every 5 minutes to ensure even roasting.
The peanuts are done when they are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to prevent over-roasting.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the spiced roasted peanuts cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
