Spicy Roasted Cocktail Peanuts image

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 to 4 cloves garlic (small), quartered lengthwise
3/4 pound , raw red peanut, with skins on
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
4 , whole chile kimmy, de arbol, cut crosswise 3 times and seeded
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 300°. Put all of the ingredients in an 8-inch baking pan. Toss to coat with oil. Roast, uncovered, in preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until the nuts are crisp and brown, about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove the nuts from the oven and discard the pieces of chile. (Some folks like the crisp bits of garlic, so leave them in, if you like.) Let peanuts stand until cool. Store in a covered container. Peanuts will keep crisp for 2 to 3 weeks.
