How To Roast Peanuts

6:00 PM Unknown 0 Comments

Oven roasting peanuts is so much easier than wok frying. I learned to roast peanuts from Are We Crazy of What. Really, really easy and it's ready within 20-25 minutes I can get crispy peanuts and the skin can be easily removed.

I have been roasting peanuts since then. I used good quality peanuts and the result is always good. My hubby prefers it without the skin and myself the opposite. So I leave the peanut skin removing to him.

Do visit this blog, Are We Crazy of What if you like to know more about peanuts and homemade peanut butter. I told of making it but still prefers to enjoy peanuts roasted this way.

Ingredients

300 gm raw peanuts - good quality ones

salt to taste [I omit]

Rinse peanuts in a colander under running water several times and leave to drain off water.
Preheat oven at 180 degrees C for 5-10 minutes.
Spread out peanuts in a baking tray, preferably in single layer for even roasting.
Roast peanuts in middle rack of oven for 20-25 minutes depending on your oven. Once you hear some crackling noise, they are about ready.
Remove from oven to cool before removing skin.
Store in airtight container.
