How to Make Emeril Lagasse's Cayenne Roasted Peanuts

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