Description

These roasted peanuts are bold and snackable, made by layering Sriracha and lime twice over already-roasted nuts for maximum punch. A quick oven bake crisps them up while locking in heat and acidity. Great for gifting or stashing in a jar for late-night snacking.


Ingredients

Scale

3 cups plain unsalted roasted peanuts (about 400 grams)

1 cup Sriracha (240 ml), divided

Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tbsp / 30 ml), divided

2 tablespoons coconut sugar (or regular sugar)

1/2 teaspoon salt


Instructions

Preheat and Prepare:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat, or lightly coat with nonstick spray.

First Sriracha Coating:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine ½ cup (120 ml) Sriracha, juice from half a lime, coconut sugar, and salt.

  • Add the peanuts and toss thoroughly to coat. Make sure all the peanuts are slick and covered.

First Roast:

  • Spread the coated peanuts out evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

  • Roast for 10 minutes on the center rack. Remove and let cool slightly—just 5 minutes is enough.

Second Sriracha Coating:

  • In the same bowl (don’t rinse it), add the remaining ½ cup (120 ml) Sriracha and juice from the other half of the lime.

  • Return the partially roasted peanuts to the bowl and stir well to coat them in the second layer.

Final Roast:

  • Spread the peanuts out again on the baking sheet.

  • Bake for another 10–12 minutes. Watch closely toward the end to prevent burning.

Cool and Store:

  • Let them cool on the sheet for 5–10 minutes—they’ll firm up as they cool.

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Use pre-roasted, unsalted peanuts for best results. Raw peanuts will overcook in this method.

Coconut sugar adds caramel-like depth, but white or brown sugar works fine.

For a milder version, use ½ cup total Sriracha instead of 1 cup and add an extra tablespoon of lime juice.
