Steps:
- *Cooks note: If eating peanuts roasted right out of the shell, use Virginia or Valencia peanuts. If utilizing roasted peanuts to make peanut butter, use Spanish peanuts as they have a higher oil content.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Rinse the peanuts under cool water to remove excess dirt. Pat dry and place in a large bowl and toss with the peanut oil and salt until well coated.
- Place on 2 half sheet pans, making sure to spread them out into a single layer. Roast in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through cooking. Once you remove the peanuts from the oven, let them cool slightly before eating. They will continue to "cook" and become crunchy as they cool.
- If using peanuts to make peanut butter, remove shells and discard. Remove the skin by rubbing the peanuts together in your hands held over a salad spinner, allowing the peanuts and skins to fall into the bowl. Once the skin has been loosened from all of the peanuts close the salad spinner and spin until all of the skin has been separated from the peanuts.
BASIC OVEN ROASTED PEANUTS
Peanuts 101! This is a basic recipe for roasting peanuts gleaned from Chef2Chef. You may use as many peanuts as you want, the method is the same, just keep it one layer deep. The computer won't let me list one ingredient, so I have added salt. You may use or not.

HOMEMADE ROASTED PEANUT BUTTER
This recipe makes a wonderful peanut butter that's better than anything in the store. It's all natural, and doesn't separate like some of the so-called natural peanut butters you can buy. I like chunky peanut butter, so I mix the batch until it is very smooth, then mix in peanuts that have been chopped separately.

HONEY ROASTED PEANUTS
Make your own! I was surprised not to find this recipe on here - it's very easy and tastes better than store bought canned. I clipped this recipe from some newspaper. If you like really sweet then try sprinkling with sugar. DO NOT USE MARGARINE - THEY WILL BURN OR GET TOO DARK. Photos taken by me on 2/26/06.

Tips:
- Choose the right peanuts: Opt for raw, unsalted peanuts to ensure the best flavor and texture.
- Soak the peanuts: Soaking the peanuts in water for a few hours or overnight helps to remove the skins more easily.
- Dry the peanuts thoroughly: Make sure the peanuts are completely dry before roasting to avoid steaming instead of roasting.
- Use a high-heat oven: Roasting the peanuts at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) helps to achieve a crispy texture.
- Roast in a single layer: Spread the peanuts in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
- Stir the peanuts occasionally: Stirring the peanuts during roasting helps to prevent burning and promotes even cooking.
- Season to taste: Once roasted, season the peanuts with salt, pepper, or other desired seasonings while they are still warm.
- Let the peanuts cool: Allow the roasted peanuts to cool completely before storing or enjoying.
Conclusion:
Homemade oven-roasted peanuts are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own, added to salads, or used as a topping for various dishes.
