TOTAL TIME : 1 hr 25 mins 1 cup 137 kcal

INGREDIENTS   
1 cup raw red peanuts

1 tbsp oil

1 Thai chili finely chopped

4 cloves of garlic finely chopped

2 and 1/2 tbsp sugar

1 tbsp water

1 tbsp vegan fish sauce or soy sauce

1/4 tsp salt

INSTRUCTIONS  
1 Rinse the raw peanuts under cold water and drain them well. Slightly pat them dry using paper
kitchen towels.

2 Transfer the peanuts to a non-stick skillet and toast them over medium heat for about 15 minutes,
stirring regularly to toast them evenly. Alternatively, you can simply roast the peanuts for about 15
minutes in a 350°F (175°C) pre-heated oven. Transfer the roasted peanuts to a bowl and let cool
completely.

3 Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced chili and garlic and
sauté for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

4 To the same skillet, add the sugar and water, and heat over medium heat until it turns into a caramel.

5 Once your caramel is golden brown, deglaze the skillet with the vegan fish sauce or soy sauce. Note:
the caramel will first harden and will liquify again after a few minutes. Add the toasted peanuts, salt,
and sautéed chili and garlic. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring regularly to coat the peanuts with the
caramel and the aromatics.

6 Transfer the coated peanuts to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and arrange them into an
even layer. Let cool while the oven is preheating.

as a snack or use as a topping for salads, curries, tacos, etc!

9 Peanuts will keep at room temperature stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
