Ingredients

1 egg white
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ancho chili powder
2 cups high quality dry roasted unsalted peanuts
5 dried chiles, optional garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.

Whisk egg white until foamy in a medium bowl. Whisk in sugar, water, salt, cumin, cayenne, garlic and ancho powders. Toss nuts in mixture until well coated.

Spray a sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment. Spread nuts out on the prepared pan in a single layer. Cook for 45 minutes until slightly golden, turning nuts with a spatula every 15 minutes so they toast evenly and don't stick.

Set the nuts aside, stirring periodically as they cool. When completely cool, transfer to serving bowl and garnish with dried red chiles if desired.

These peanuts are the BEST! I've made them every sunday since I found the recipe and there is never any left. The proportions... of the ingredients are good and you can make them as hot or not as you like. Thanks!Read more

I wouldn't say they're screamin hot...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was hoping to read some reviews re: the amount of sugar called for in this recipe, but it looks like i'm going first. I... used the recommended amount of sugar, but chose to cut out ~1/8 of the cumin. It's a strong flavor, so i figure it shouldn't outnumber the peppers. Cumin ends up being the aftertaste, despite its prevalent scent prior to heating. Finished product is very flavorful and impressive, not quite spicy enough for me, but i love spicy foods. Oh that reminds me - i didn't have ancho powder so i substituted w/ some crushed new mexico hatch pepper i got from trader joe's. Anyway, don't forget to down a Tums prior to enjoying. I think a jar (go buy em at the supermarket on the utensil aisle) of these peanuts will make a much appreciated gift during the holidays this year. Read more
