How to roast peanuts in the oven?

Roasting peanuts and removing the skin is the time-consuming task. Roasted peanuts are easily available in the grocery stores. If you have raw peanuts, you can roast in the conventional oven or microwave oven or on the stovetop using a skillet.

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees oven. Spread the raw peanuts on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until slightly crispy in a preheated 350 degrees oven. Take out the peanuts from oven and stir after 7 minutes. Allow to cool and rub peanuts together in your hands and blow off the peanut skin and use in the recipes or store in an airtight container for a month.

2. Spread raw peanuts on a microwave-safe plate and spread in a single layer. Microwave on high for 2 mins. Take out the peanuts and stir. Continue cooking and stirring every two minutes until the color changes to a golden brown. Allow the peanuts to cool and rub peanuts together in your hands and blow off the peanut skin and use in the recipes or store in an airtight container.

3. In a wide skillet, add peanuts and roast over a medium flame until the peanuts color changes to golden brown or crispy. Keep stirring to avoid the peanuts getting burned. Allow to cool and rub peanuts together in your hands and blow off the peanut skin and use in the recipes or store in an airtight container for a month.
