Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.

Set a small heavy saucepan over low heat, add the butter, and melt it.

Add the peanuts and toss to coat.

Stir in the sugar, cayenne pepper, paprika, coriander, and salt.

Spread the nuts out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Roast until crispy and fragrant, 6 to 8 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to ensure even cooking and keep the nuts from scorching.

Remove the sheet from the oven and let the nuts cool.

Serve immediately or store in a sealed container or bag at room temperature until game day, but no longer than 2 days.
