Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cajun Spiced Sugared Peanuts.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with a layer of parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 3
Next, introduce raw peanuts along with chipotle chile powder, kosher salt, chili powder, and garlic powder to the saucepan, ensuring each peanut is generously coated in the sweet and spicy syrup.
Step 4
Bring this delightful mixture to a boil, stirring continuously until the liquid evaporates and the syrup clings thickly to the peanuts, which should take about 15 minutes.
Step 5
Once ready, promptly spread the syrup-coated peanuts onto your prepared baking sheet, using forks to gently separate any that are sticking together for an even distribution.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, stirring and separating the peanuts every 5 minutes, until they achieve a beautiful glazed and golden brown finish.
Step 7
After baking, allow the peanuts to cool completely before breaking them into smaller, irresistible pieces.
Step 8
Enjoy your crunchy, flavorful snack that’s perfect for sharing or savoring all on your own!.
