– 2 cups raw peanut – 1 tablespoon olive oil – 1 teaspoon chili powder – 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika – 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste) – 1/2 teaspoon salt – 1/4 teaspoon black pepper – 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, for a sweet-spicy balance)
Preheat the Air Fryer: – Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes.
Prepare the Peanuts: – In a large bowl, combine the raw peanuts with olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and sugar (if using). Toss everything together until the peanuts are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Air Fry the Peanuts: – Place the seasoned peanuts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the peanuts at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even roasting. Keep an eye on them, as cooking times may vary based on your air fryer model.
