Chili-Roasted Peanuts with Cilantro
1 egg white
1 T. water
1 C. dry-roasted unsalted peanuts
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
1/8 tsp. salt
2 T. minced fresh cilantro
Â
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, beat the egg white and water with a fork. Add the peanuts and toss to coat. Drain the nuts through a fine sieve. Pick up a few nuts at a time (so any remaining clumps of egg white drip off) and transfer to a large nonstick baking sheet. Sprinkle on the sugar, chili powder, garlic, and salt. Toss with the fork to coat with the seasoning mixture. Spread the peanuts out in a single layer so they are not in clumps. Bake for 5 minutes. Stir the peanuts. Bake for 10 minutes more, stirring occasionally, or until sizzling and browned. Remove from the oven. Toss with the cilantro. Serve hot.
