    Ingredients

    ingredients for fried garlic peanuts.

    Oil - use canola, vegetable oil, or grapeseed oil. Avoid strong-flavored oils like sesame oil and olive oil.

    Peanuts - shelled peanuts are required for this recipe, also called peanut kernels. 

    Garlic - use fresh chopped garlic. 

    Salt - use salt as needed. You do not have to add this if you have diet restrictions. 

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions

    Step 1: Sauté garlic in oil on medium-low heat. 

    Step 2:  Add the peanuts. 

    Step 3: Sit the peanuts until coated with oil.

    Step 4: Stir the peanuts constantly for 10-13 minutes. The peanuts easily burnt, so please do not let them cook any further than you have to. It will continue to cook for a little after removing it from the pan.

    FAQs and Expert Tips

    Can I make this recipe spicy?

    You can add chopped chilies halfway through cooking or powdered chilies. 

    How do you keep the peanuts from getting too salty?


    When adding salt, add them in small amounts. 

    I suggest adding salt in small amounts until the desired quantity is achieved. 

    How to test the peanuts if they are ready?


    Pinch one peanut with your finger. If the skin comes out quickly, the peanuts are ready. 

    When the peanuts are starting to turn brown, stop the cooking process. The peanuts get easily burnt, and once they are burnt, there is no turning back.
