Spicy Cocktail Peanuts
These peanuts remind me of street food in India, and they are super-easy to make. They go very well with wine, cocktails, and even mocktails (for the kids)!

Add peanuts along with oil to a pan and turn the heat up to medium-low, shaking the pan from time to time.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer peanuts to a plate lined with a paper towel to filter out any oil.
