Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay)
• teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 8 ounces raw Spanish peanuts
• Salt to taste

Directions

Step 1: Preheat your air fryer to 320F (160C).

Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, seafood seasoning, and cayenne pepper until well combined.

Step 3: Add the raw Spanish peanuts to the bowl and stir to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.

Step 4: Transfer the seasoned peanuts to the air fryer basket, spreading them out in a single layer for even cooking.

Step 5: Cook the peanuts in the preheated air fryer for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, toss the peanuts to ensure even cooking, and continue cooking for another 10 minutes.

Step 6: Once the peanuts are golden and crispy, remove the basket from the air fryer. Season with salt to taste and toss to coat evenly.

Step 7: Return the peanuts to the air fryer and cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the seasoning to set and the peanuts to become extra crispy.

Step 8: Transfer the peanuts to a paper towel-lined plate to cool before serving.
