Basic Roasted Peanuts
This recipe for Basic Roasted Peanuts in the shell is easy, and the flavor is way better than anything you’ll find pre-packaged.
Equipment
- clean kitchen towels
- rimmed baking sheet
- measuring spoon
Ingredients
- Raw peanuts in the shell
- kosher or sea salt
Instructions
- Remove stems and leaves from raw peanuts.
- Place raw peanuts in the shell in a colander and rinse with cold water to remove dirt. A quick rinse is all they need. Drain and pour on to a towel and then pat dry with another towel. They will still be a bit damp.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place nuts, one layer deep in a shallow baking pan.
- Sprinkle with about 1 - 2 teaspoons of salt.
- Roast in a 350 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes for in-shell peanuts.
- Remove from heat just short of doneness desired, as peanuts continue to cook as they cool.
