crunchy peanuts

Super crunchy peanuts with a smoky and garlicky shell. These insanely-addicting peanuts make the perfect savory snack!

Crunchy Coated Peanuts (Bacon Flavored!)

peanuts

full-fat coconut milk

sugar

tsp liquid smoke (optional,

all-purpose flour

cornstarch

onion powder

tsp salt

garlic powder

oil (for frying)

tsp smoked paprika

chili

Prepare the syrup: Add the full-fat coconut milk and sugar to a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring regularly until it comes to a boil. Remove from heat, and stir in the liquid smoke. Let cool a little bit while you prepare the flour coating.

Make the flour coating: To a medium size mixing bowl, add the flour, cornstarch, onion powder, salt, and garlic powder. Whisk until combined.

Coat the peanuts: Add the raw peanuts to a large mixing bowl. Pour about one tablespoon of the syrup over the peanuts and shake the bowl to coat. Next, sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of the flour mixture over the peanuts and shake again to coat the peanuts evenly. (I cover the mixing bowl with a plastic film while shaking ir to prevent peanuts from jumping out of it.)

Repeat the same process 4-5 times: add syrup and shake to coat. Then add flour and shake again. The peanuts will have a thick flour coating once you have used up all the syrup and flour.

Fry the peanuts: Heat the oil in a deep saucepan or skillet over low-medium heat. Once hot, add half of the peanuts and fry for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown. Note: do not heat over medium-high heat, otherwise the coating will brown too quickly, and the peanuts will not cook inside.

Remove the peanuts from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with a kitchen paper towel to remove excess oil. Repeat with the remaining peanuts.

Finally, sprinkle smoked paprika and chili over the fried peanuts and stir to coat. Let cool completely and enjoy!

Crunchy peanuts will keep for up to 1 week at room temperature in an airtight container.

This is my favorite snack. But until now I buy them. This time I'll try to do it myself. Thank you Thomas.

This recipe is one of my favorite snack recipes. I really love how crunchy the peanuts tasted. It's very simple to make and perfect for movie time as well. 5 stars for you, Thomas!
