How to Make Emeril Lagasse's Cayenne Roasted Peanuts
- Heat 1 cup of peanut oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed saucepan to 350°F (175°C).
- Add 2 cups of raw peanuts to the hot oil. Fry, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove peanuts with a slotted spoon and immediately transfer them to a bowl lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- While still warm, toss peanuts with 1-2 teaspoons of cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference) and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Let cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
