Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Spread the raw peanuts in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring even roasting. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Carefully place the baking sheet into the preheated oven.

04

Step

Immediately turn the oven OFF. It's crucial to remember this step!

05

Step

Allow the peanuts to roast in the cooling oven for a full hour. Resist the temptation to open the oven door; this trapped heat is essential for the perfect roast. (60 minutes)

06

Step

After one hour, remove the peanuts from the oven. Let them cool slightly before serving.

For a more intense flavor, try soaking the peanuts in salted water for 30 minutes before roasting. Pat them dry before placing them on the baking sheet.
The roasting time may vary slightly depending on your oven. Keep a close eye on the peanuts during the last 15 minutes of roasting and adjust accordingly. If they're not quite crisp after an hour, you can turn the oven back on to a low setting (around 200 degrees F) for a few more minutes, checking frequently to avoid burning.
Store leftover roasted peanuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

    I accidentally left them in for 1 hour and 15 minutes and they were a little too dark, so be sure to set a timer.

    Is it possible to do this in a toaster oven?

  • Gust Mayertromaguera

    These are the best roasted peanuts I've ever had. The hour in the turned-off oven makes all the difference.

    I was skeptical, but this recipe is genius! The peanuts are perfectly roasted and so easy to make.
