How to Prepare & Fry Raw Peanuts
Peanuts are part of the legume family (which includes peas, lentils and chickpeas) and are an excellent source of monounsaturated fats, antioxidants, niacin, protein, copper and other nutrients. With a little cooking experience, fried peanuts are simple to prepare and useful as an appetizer or a snack.
Things You'll Need
- 2 cups raw peanuts
- Peanut oil
- Slotted Spoon
- Deep saucepan

- Cayenne pepper (optional)
- Paprika (optional)

Instructions
-
Remove the raw peanuts from their pods.
-
Pour the peanut oil into the deep saucepan, about 1 inch deep, and warm over medium heat. Allow the oil to heat-up, approximately 3 minutes.

Add the peanuts and cook until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes. Stir occasionally with a slotted spoon to keep the peanuts from burning.
