Oven Roasted Salted Peanuts

By RoketJSquerl

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.

Ingredients

• 1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt
• 3 Cups Water
• 2 Cups Raw Peanuts

Preparation

Step 1

Dissolve kosher salt in water. Place the peanuts in the water. Place a bowl on top to keep the peanuts submerged. Soak for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Strain the peanuts. Pat dry and place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast at 300 degrees for 35-45 minutes. The peanuts will be slightly underdone (a little chewy) when you remove them from the oven, but they will continue to cook once you remove them. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Serve warm.
Now turn on the game and enjoy one of my favorite summer past times. Just try to resist throwing the shells on the floor, they don’t make for easy clean up.

Enjoy!
