How to Make Roasted Peanuts in 5 Minutes

How to Roast Peanuts in the Oven

First things first, let’s get our ingredients ready. Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups raw peanuts (with skins or without, your choice!)
• 1 tablespoon of oil (optional, but who doesn’t love a little extra flavor?)
• Salt (to taste, because bland peanuts = sad peanuts)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is crucial! You want those peanuts to roast evenly and not end up with a sad, burnt flavor.
2. Spread the raw peanuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. If you opted for oil, drizzle it over the peanuts and toss them to coat.
3. Sprinkle salt over the peanuts like you have a magic salt shaker! Just be careful not to get too carried away. We want peanuts, not a salt lick!
4. Put the baking sheet in the oven and set your timer for 15 minutes. Bake those peanuts until they’re golden brown and fragrant, giving them a little stir halfway through to ensure they roast evenly.
5. Once golden and toasted, take them out and let them cool for a few minutes. They’ll continue to cook a bit even after you’ve removed them from the oven, so keep an eye on them!
6. Now, it’s time to munch. You can eat them plain, toss them in a salad, or even use them in your favorite dessert recipes! The world is your nutty oyster!

Congratulations, you are now the proud owner of a batch of deliciously roasted peanuts! Perfect for movie nights, game days, or just because you love nuts. Enjoy your creation, and share the peanut love with friends and family (or keep them all to yourself—it’s a nutty secret!).
