Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F.
Add the raw peanuts inside the air fryer basket in a single layer and air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking it occasionally. (I placed a cake pan in the air fryer basket to prevent peanuts from getting stuck in the holes)
2 cups raw peanuts
Once the peanuts are golden brown and crunchy, turn off the air fryer and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Add black pepper, chaat masala and salt according to your taste preferences.
¼ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon chaat masala, salt to taste
Drizzle some oil over the peanuts and give it a good mix.
2 teaspoon oil
Let the peanuts cool down to room temperature before serving or storing in an airtight container.

Make sure to shake the air fryer basket occasionally for even cooking and browning.
If your air fryer basket has bigger gaps, add the peanuts to a smaller bowl or pan and place it inside the air fryer. This will prevent the smaller peanuts from falling through the basket.
Experiment with different seasonings and indian spice mix to create your own unique flavors. Dry mango powder is a popular flavor enhancer that's used along with other spices.
Peanuts have a decent shelf life of up to 7 days, when they are stored in an airtight container.
Adjust your cook time if your air fryer oven is small.
