Dry Roasted Peanuts Recipe

How to roast peanuts in a pan

1. Ensure your peanuts are dry. Heat a pan or skillet over medium heat. Add raw peanuts, stirring regularly with a spatula to ensure even roasting and prevent burning.
2. Roast the peanuts until they turn golden and emit a fragrant aroma, which should take about 5 minutes. If you are using unblanched peanuts, the next step is to remove their shells. If you are using blanched peanuts, allow them to cool before eating them. (Blanched peanuts roast faster than unblanched ones.)
