Spiced salted dried peanuts (quick version)

I remember when I was a child, when I went to the countryside and fell into the peanut harvest season, every family had to make salted and dried peanuts. This process seemed to me as a big festival for a kid in the city. Whenever harvest time comes, I always follow the grown-ups all the way to the peanut field with the novelty of following the adults' buttocks, watching them pull ripe peanuts from the ground one by one. He took it back and washed the mud with river water, and at the same time made a firewood from a large stove and threw the peanuts into the boiling salt water. After cooking, it is scooped up and drained, and then spread out in the yard with a bamboo dustpan to dry. The summer sun in the south is scorching, and soon it turns into delicious salted and dried peanuts. The children always eat while drying in the sun, and every time I go out, I can't forget to grab two handfuls in my pocket, eat while scattering wild, and even once ate too much and had diarrhea. There are a variety of peanut products on the market now, but whenever I think of these salty and dried peanuts, I recall the memories of my childhood in my hometown. Whenever the peanuts go on the market, I always buy some and come back to make them, the ingredients are changed to five spices, and the air fryer replaces the drying, and the main one is fast.

  3. After the air fryer is baked, take it out and let it cool thoroughly, and then you can eat it. At this time, the finished shell is crisp, and the peanut kernel is soft, which is suitable for children and the elderly. If you must pursue the dry and hard peanut kernels that you used to be a child, you have to expose them to the sun.
