Chilli Peanuts

These zesty chilli peanuts are a brilliant vegan snack that manages to be both refreshing and fiery at the same time. By combining the bright acidity of fresh lime juice with the smoky warmth of paprika and a kick of cayenne, you transform simple dry-roasted peanuts into a sophisticated nibble. They are incredibly easy to prepare and far superior to anything you might find in a packet, making them a reliable choice for your next gathering.

Ideal as a savoury accompaniment to a cold drink or as a protein-rich afternoon pick-me-up, this recipe is naturally plant-based and gluten-free. The slow roasting process ensures the coating dries to a crisp finish rather than becoming sticky. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container to maintain their crunch for several days.
