Instructions
- Cook's note: For eating roasted peanuts straight from the shell, Virginia or Valencia peanuts are best. If you plan to use the roasted peanuts for making peanut butter, Spanish peanuts are recommended due to their higher oil content.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Transform fresh raw peanuts: Rinse them under cool water to remove any dirt. Pat dry, then toss in a large bowl with peanut oil and salt until evenly coated for that perfect crunch.
- Spread peanuts in a single layer on 2 half sheet pans. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, swapping pans halfway for even golden perfection. Let cool slightlythey'll crisp up even more as they rest, releasing an irresistible aroma that'll have everyone gathering in the kitchen!
- For peanut butter lovers: Remove shells and discard. Rub peanuts together over a salad spinner to loosen skins, then spin until they're effortlessly separated. Blend into creamy homemade goodness.
