Instructions
-
Heat Oil: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the canola oil over medium heat.
-
Cook Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and cook until golden brown, stirring frequently. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
-
Add Peanuts and Chili Powder: Stir in the unsalted peanuts and chili powder. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring continuously, until the peanuts are evenly coated and heated through.
-
Drain and Season: Using a slotted spoon, remove the peanuts from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
-
Season with Salt: While still warm, sprinkle the peanuts with salt to taste. Toss gently to coat evenly.
-
Serve: Allow the spicy peanuts to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as a snack or a flavorful addition to your favorite lunchtime dishes.
Tips for Success
- Garlic Handling: Ensure the garlic doesn’t burn during cooking as it can turn bitter. Adjust the heat as needed.
- Customization: Feel free to adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less chili powder according to your preference.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container once completely cooled. They should stay fresh for several days.
