Aromatic five spice peanuts with a savory, fragrant coating are a classic Chinese snack. A protein-rich, family treat with bold, warm spice flavor.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a medium bowl, lightly whisk 1 egg white until frothy, then add 2 cups of raw peanuts and stir well to coat evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix together 1 tbsp five spice powder, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp white pepper.
Sprinkle the mixed seasonings over the coated peanuts and toss gently to ensure all peanuts are fully seasoned.
Drizzle 1 tbsp vegetable oil over the peanuts, stir again, then spread the peanuts in a single even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes, then remove, stir to prevent sticking and burning, and return to the oven for an additional 12-15 minutes, watching closely to avoid overbrowning.
After baking, turn off the oven and let the peanuts cool inside the oven with the door slightly ajar, allowing them to crisp up without trapping steam.
Once completely cool, store the five spice peanuts in an airtight container to maintain their crunch.
