Don’t Fry the Peanuts: A New Method with Egg That You’ll Never Forget!

‎‎

If you’re looking for a new way to enjoy peanuts that’s both fragrant and delicious, this recipe with eggs will be your go-to! By combining peanuts with eggs and using a non-fried method, you’ll get a dish that’s packed with flavor, crispy texture, and perfect for snacking or adding to your favorite meals. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of raw peanuts (unsalted)

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt (optional)

  • Optional: Paprika or garlic powder for extra flavor

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Peanuts: Start by rinsing the raw peanuts under cold water and then pat them dry with a paper towel. This will help them roast evenly.

  2. Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them thoroughly. Add a pinch of salt or seasoning to the eggs for extra flavor. The eggs will coat the peanuts, giving them a fragrant and crispy finish without needing to fry them in oil.

  3. Coat the Peanuts: Add the peanuts to the bowl with the whisked eggs. Stir them well, ensuring all the peanuts are evenly coated with the egg mixture.

  4. Roast the Peanuts: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the egg-coated peanuts evenly on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the peanuts for a golden finish, but don’t fry them!

  5. Bake Until Golden: Roast the peanuts in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. Keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly. When they turn golden brown and the eggs have crisped up, they’re ready!

  6. Cool and Serve: Once roasted, remove the peanuts from the oven and allow them to cool. As they cool, they’ll become crispier. Enjoy them as a snack or toss them into salads, stir-fries, or use as a topping for soups.

Why You’ll Love This Method:

  • Healthier Alternative: This method avoids deep frying, keeping the peanuts light while still delivering a crispy, fragrant texture.

  • Rich Flavor: The egg coating gives the peanuts a unique flavor and a rich, golden finish.

  • Versatile: You can season the peanuts with your favorite spices, such as paprika, garlic powder, or even a touch of chili for a spicier kick.

Once you try this method, you’ll never want to go back to frying peanuts again. The combination of peanuts and eggs creates a delightful snack that’s healthier, packed with flavor, and hard to forget!
