How to Make Basic Oven Roasted Peanuts

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spread 1 cup of raw peanuts (shelled or in shell) in a single layer on a shallow baking sheet. Ensure they're not overcrowded for even roasting.
  3. Sprinkle generously with 1/2 teaspoon of salt (or to taste). You can also experiment with other seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper.
  4. Roast for 15-20 minutes for shelled peanuts, or 20-25 minutes for peanuts in the shell. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes.
  5. Remove from the oven slightly before reaching your desired level of crispness, as the peanuts will continue to cook as they cool. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet before serving and enjoying your crunchy masterpiece!
