Are you bored of s alted peanuts? Then just roast them yourself. Then you can season the nuts to your liking.
Peanuts are one of the most popular types of nuts and are eaten both pure and seasoned. They are perfect for a TV night, serve as a party snack and give many dishes a piquant note. In the supermarket you can often buy them roasted and s alted. It also tastes really good, but at some point they can also become boring. At the latest then it's time to "turn on the oven, roast it yourself and season it to your own taste". Peanuts, for example, also taste great when they are sweet.
Ingredients:
- Peanuts (shelled or shelled)
- Heavy spices such as s alt, curry, cayenne pepper, etc.
- or sweet spices like sugar and cinnamon
Preparation:
Step 1
First you need to decide whether you want to roast the peanuts with or without the brown shell or skin. If you want to shell the nuts before roasting, put them in the freezer overnight. The next day you can simply wipe off the peel with your fingers.
If you don't want to shell the peanuts until after they've been roasted, place the roasted nuts in a jar, seal and shake vigorously. Then place the nuts on a cloth and gently blow over them. The brown skins of the peanuts fly up and the shelled nuts stay put.
Step 2
Regardless of whether they are shelled or unshelled: Lay the peanuts out flat on a large baking sheet. They should not be on top of each other. Then place the tray in the preheated oven at 180°C top/bottom heat on the middle shelf and bake for 15 to 20 minutes (for shelled peanuts) or 20 to 25 minutes (for unshelled peanuts). Then quickly remove the skin from the unpeeled peanuts.
Step 3
Season the still hot peanuts as desired immediately after roasting. Either with sea s alt, cayenne pepper, barbecue seasoning or for the sweet version with brown sugar and cinnamon. In any case, it is important that you season the nuts immediately, as they absorb the spices best when they are still hot.
