The invention discloses a tasty crisp peanut leisure food and a preparation method thereof. The tasty crisp peanut leisure food is prepared according to the following steps: ginger, green Chinese onion, aniseed, pepper, rhizoma kaempferiae,
pericarpium citri reticulatae and liquorice are used as spices and are added with water for infusing so as to obtain a basic solution of the spices; the basic solution of the spices is added with salt, saccharose, aginomoto,

mass proportion of 1: (0.15-0.30), and is infused to be tasty for 5 to 8 hours after being stirred; the infused peanut is placed in the environment with hot air of 60 to 90 DEG C for dry to remove
moisture, and then is arranged in a
far infrared oven with the temperature being 130 to 160 DEG C for
roasting for 15 to 30min; the heated peanut is uniformly mixed with
