Ingredients
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 cups Raw peanuts (in shell or shelled)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to ensure an even roasting temperature for the peanuts.
- Prepare Peanuts: Arrange the raw peanuts, either in their shells or shelled, in a single layer on a shallow baking pan. This allows them to roast evenly.
- Add Salt: Sprinkle the peanuts evenly with 1 teaspoon of salt to enhance their flavor.
- Roast Peanuts: Roast for 15-20 minutes if using shelled peanuts or 20-25 minutes if roasting peanuts in their shells. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
- Cool and Finish: Remove the peanuts from the oven when they are almost done, as they will continue to cook slightly while cooling, reaching the perfect roasted texture.
Notes
- For best results, stir the peanuts halfway through roasting to ensure even cooking.
- Adjust salt quantity according to your taste preference.
- Let peanuts cool completely before storing in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- You can roast peanuts with shells for a more rustic snack or use shelled peanuts for salads and recipes.
