Peanuts are a great snack when eaten alone, and can also be added to some of your favorite dishes. Roasting your peanuts imbues them with a rich flavor, and this process can be easily completed with a few simple steps. Peanuts are an excellent source of fiber, protein and antioxidants. By following a few steps, you can roast peanuts within your own home, allowing you to cook them to your liking.
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2
Pour a single layer of raw peanuts onto a cookie sheet. This allows for the faster cooking of the peanuts.
Step 3
Place the pan into the oven, setting it on the oven's middle rack.
Step 4
Cook the peanuts for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring them every 10 minutes to ensure an even roasting. The length of time will depend on the brownness that you desire. You can check to see if the peanuts are at the desired brownness by removing the skin from a peanut and testing it.
