2 servings

30 minutes

Spicy fried peanuts with lime juice are a vibrant representative of Pan-Asian cuisine, combining spiciness, acidity, and a crunchy texture. This recipe is inspired by traditional snacks from Southeast Asia, where nuts are often seasoned with spices and citrus notes. Peanuts roasted to a golden crust acquire a rich nutty flavor enhanced by olive oil and caramelized sugar. Lime juice adds freshness and a slight tanginess, while spicy Tabasco and cayenne pepper contribute pleasant heat. This snack pairs perfectly with cold drinks, complements evening meals wonderfully, and serves as an excellent highlight at friendly gatherings. Simple to prepare yet exquisite in taste, it delights lovers of spicy and rich dishes.
