Ingredients
- 2 cups peanuts (blanched)
- 2-3 tsp coconut sugar (raw cane sugar works too)
- 1 tbsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp tapioca starch (or arrowstarch)
- ยฝ tsp pink salt (add more for a salty taste)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Method
- Preheat the air fryer.
- Place a liner inside the air fryer basket (if you have them) after the preheat has finished.
- Mix together the sugar, pink salt, garlic powder and, starch, cumin, cayenne pepper in a small bowl and set aside (reserve some of the spice mix for after the peanuts are done).
- Place the peanuts in a medium sized bowl.
- Drizzle the peanuts with olive oil and toss to coat (do this by flipping the bowl).
- Sprinkle the spicy seasoning over the nuts and toss (flip the bowl again) so that the nuts are completely coated.
- Place the nuts in the air fryer basket, spreading out evenly so they are not overcrowded (you may need to cook them in batches)
- Air fry on 356F/180C for 15 minutes (cooking time may vary) or until the peanuts are begin to darken.
- After 10 minutes reduce the temperature to 320/F160C for roughly 5 minutes
- Once done, allow the peanuts to completely cool, sprinkle on more seasoning and store in an air tight container.
