Ingredients
Peanuts
| 2 cups (500 mL) roasted peanuts |
| ½ cup (125 mL) sugar |
| 1½ tbsp (22 mL) peanut oil |
| 1½ tbsp (22 mL) kosher salt, or to taste |
| 1 tbsp (15 mL) five-spice powder |
| 1 tbsp (15 mL) chili powder, or to taste |
| ½ cup (125 mL) chopped green onion |
Directions
Place the peanuts and sugar in a non-stick pan over moderate heat. Stir until the sugar starts to melt, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drizzle the oil on the peanuts then add the salt, five-spice powder and chili powder. Stir another 3 to 5 minutes. (The sugar on the peanuts will start to harden and become crunchy.) Remove the peanuts from the heat and immediately add the green onions. Toss several times and transfer to a cookie sheet to cool.
