Spiced Parmesan Peanuts

There are a couple of things I believe in firmly. One is that peanuts taste great no matter what you put on them. The other is that everything tastes better with Parmesan cheese on it. Therefore, this recipe is sure to be a winner. Make sure you are cleared to eat nuts before you snack out on this tasty treat.

2 cups dry roasted salted peanuts
1 Tbs neutral vegetable oil
2 Tbs finely grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Toss the peanuts with the oil and transfer to a large shallow baking pan.
Bake until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with the Parmesan and optional other seasonings, stirring to coat the peanuts thoroughly.
Cool before serving.

Makes 2 cups

Cook's Notes: I buy the cheap nuts at the warehouse store and use this method to turn them into rock star snacks.
Garlic powder is just the beginning of and-on options. Try chili powder, or taco seasoning, or ranch dressing powder mix, etc...
I mix my Parmesan with the additional spices and run then through my spice (coffee) grinder to get it really fine. Note I DO NOT use this same grinder for coffee! YUCK!!
