For an even deeper flavor, consider toasting the raw peanuts lightly in a dry pan before air frying. This enhances their natural nuttiness. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the spiciness. For a milder flavor, reduce to 1/4 teaspoon, or for an extra kick, increase to 3/4 teaspoon. Store the cooled peanuts in an airtight container to maintain their crispness for up to a week.
