Inside the shell, the actual peanut meat is covered by a thin, papery skin. If you want to remove it, you'll save a lot of time and hassle by waiting until after the peanuts are roasted because the skin dries out and loosens up. Once the peanuts are cooled, the peanuts should pop right out of the skin when squeezed between your fingers. Remove the skins from an entire batch at once by shaking the roasted peanuts vigorously in a lidded bowl. The agitation removes most of the skin and you simply have to pick out the peanuts.
recipe for roasting peanuts
Many people prefer the taste of peanuts roasted in the shell. It does soften the shell and makes them slightly more difficult to crack open. If you intend to use the peanuts in a recipe or as a no-mess snack, consider shelling the peanuts before roasting. For the best of both worlds, roast part of the batch in the shell with the extended cooking time.
We love roasted peanuts in everything from granola to slaws and salads. But we have found that it is much cheaper to buy raw peanuts in bulk and to roast them at home. This is quick and easy, and it lets us control the roasted flavor more precisely.
Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring at least twice during the roasting time. When they smell peanutty and roasted, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with salt if desired. Let cool before transferring to a sealed container or using them in a recipe.
That's it! We told you it was easy. Personally, I really love the taste of freshly roasted peanuts. They have this depth of flavor and yummy nuttiness that just isn't found in commercially roasted peanuts. They taste fresher and more peanutty. Plus, roasting them makes your house smell great.

The recipe itself is pretty easy and I find myself making it just so that Ryan and I can have some snacks lying around. I chose to soak the peanuts in salt water to give them a slightly salty flavor but it is not over the top. It is important to soak the peanuts for at least an hour before roasting. Also, be sure to pat them try before sticking them in the oven.
Hey Jamie, I found my raw peanuts at my grocery store. They were actually in the produce section next to the other raw nuts rather than in the section with the Planters or other kind of peanuts. Hope this helps!
To prevent the peanuts from getting burnt, it is important to keep stirring for 13 minutes. YES, it is a workout, but trust me, the results will be so worth it, the best-roasted peanuts you will ever try!
Back in the day, I used to be a manager at a hotel in Vail, CO. I had a front desk agent, Hassan, who I will never forget. He used to call out to me from behind the desk back to my office, "Tray-CEE!" It used to drive me crazy, but he was so sweet and so endearing so even if I was super annoyed, when I'd see him, I'd be over it. Plus, he always had honey roasted peanuts stashed behind the desk for snacking. When I found out that he passed away, I knew the snack from scratch I had to make: Homemade Honey Roasted Peanuts, in honor of Hassan!
I haven't tried the recipe (dunno that I'd add chili powder to mine) but I'm just browsing the internet trying to see if I can find a recipe to beat these awful Planters Honey Roasted Peanuts and in just a couple sentences you made me feel bad for the loss of Hassan. I wonder how many of the people I used to work with aren't with us anymore. Hmm. Really makes ya think.
Honey Roasted Peanuts are so easy to make fresh at home either in the oven or the air fryer. All you need are a few simple ingredients to make roasted peanuts that are the perfect mix of sweet and salty. These make a great snack or a homemade gift during the holidays.
Leave to cool on the tray for a few minutes, then sprinkle sugar and salt on top to taste and mix to combine. Keep mixing the peanuts every few minutes as they cool to stop them from sticking together, then serve or transfer to an airtight jar or container.
Pour the peanuts onto a baking sheet lined with foil and spread out into a single layer. Leave to cool on the tray for a few minutes, then sprinkle sugar and salt to taste on top and mix to combine. Keep mixing the peanuts every few minutes as they cool to stop them from sticking together, then serve or transfer to an airtight jar or container.
Be sure to stir your peanuts regularly while roasting (or shaking the basket regularly if you are air frying). Peanuts on the edge of the tray tend to brown faster, so this ensures they brown evenly.
If using the air fryer you may need to cook in two batches to ensure the nuts are not overlapping significantly in the basket.
Cooking times can vary so please be sure to check on your peanuts regularly as they cook. When the colour starts to change to golden brown, they're ready!
I put sugar and salt to taste as I know our tastes can vary wildly. Add both on gradually and taste as you go.
Be sure to stir your peanuts a few times as they cool so they don't clump together.
Store in an airtight jar or container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Roasted peanuts, also called parched peanuts, make a delicious quick snack. Roasted in a skillet and tossed with a little salt while warm, these peanuts will quickly become a favorite.

Brent, I salt the peanuts as soon as they come out of the oven while they are still piping hot. The natural oils in the peanuts should be enough that the salt sticks. Try kosher salt and see if that works better.

Pre-heat your oven to 360 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celsius. Spread your peanuts in a single even layer, without piling them up. Roasting time depends on the type of oven and the kind of roast desired. It can take anywhere from 7 to 12 minutes. For my oven, 10 minutes is just what I need. 2ff7e9595c
