Equipment

  • Air fryer

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup peanuts, dry roasted and plain
  • 3 tbsp chickpea flour
  • 1 tbsp rice flour
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp garam masala
  • 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp agave nectar
  • 1 1/2 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp water
  • Cooking oil spray, neutral-flavored

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add the peanuts and all seasonings and spices to a mixing bowl. Stir until evenly combined.
  • Add the agave nectar, coconut oil, and water into the bowl and quickly stir to combine. Stop mixing once a slight batter has formed on the nuts and there are no visible dry ingredients.
  • Lay the peanuts down in the air fryer rack in a single layer. Do not overlap. Lightly spray them with cooking oil spray.
  • Air fry the peanuts for 3 minutes, give them a gentle stir, and air fry for 2 to 3 more minutes or until they are lightly golden brown and the batter is no longer wet but crispy. NOTE: These get more crunchy once they've completely cooled down.
