Best Pumpkin Spice Bacon Peanuts Recipes

SPICY GARLIC-HERB PEANUTS

Steps:

• For the garlic-herb spice blend: Mix together the rosemary, sage, thyme, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
• For the nuts: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet with the oil.
• Put the egg white in a large bowl and whisk until frothy. Add the peanuts and toss to coat in the egg white. Add the spice blend and toss to coat.
• Spread the nut mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet, then stir in the chiles and transfer to a large bowl.

SCREAMING HOT PEANUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
• Whisk egg white until foamy in a medium bowl. Whisk in sugar, water, salt, cumin, cayenne, garlic and ancho powders. Toss nuts in mixture until well coated.
• Spray a sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment. Spread nuts out on the prepared pan in a single layer. Cook for 45 minutes until slightly golden, turning nuts with a spatula every 15 minutes so they toast evenly and don't stick.
• Set the nuts aside, stirring periodically as they cool. When completely cool, transfer to serving bowl and garnish with dried red chiles if desired.

LOW COUNTRY BOILED PEANUTS

Steps:

• Put the water in a large stockpot, add the salt, and bring to a boil. Add the peanuts and simmer for 1 to 2 hours, testing a peanut occasionally, until the shells tear open with ease and the peanuts inside are completely tender (even a little mushy).
• Drain and serve warm. Uneaten peanuts can be stored in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Heat cold peanuts to hand-hot in the microwave before serving.
