Chile-Lime Peanuts image

A traditional Oaxacan bar snack, these lime- and chile-flavored peanuts are typically deep-fried in pork fat. The folks at Chow lightened them up by roasting them in the oven for a quick and easy snack without sacrificing any flavor. Try them out at your next cocktail party, and don't be put off by the amount of garlic-roasting sweetens and mellows it.

Time 30m

Yield 15 snack sized servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs raw shelled Spanish peanuts
20 whole unpeeled garlic cloves (about 2 whole heads)
6 tablespoons peanut oil
4 arbol chiles, crushed
3 tablespoons finely grated lime zest, packed (from about 4 medium limes)
4 teaspoons kosher salt
4 teaspoons granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400°F and arrange the rack in the middle. Toss together peanuts, garlic, peanut oil, and chiles until evenly coated.
  • Spread ingredients out on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast, shaking and stirring halfway through the cooking time, until nuts are toasted and beginning to crack open, about 25 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and transfer to a large, heatproof bowl. Toss with lime zest, salt, and sugar, and serve.
