Sweet or spicy - roasted peanuts are popular everywhere
Roasted peanuts are just as much a part of the TV evening as they are for after-work beer in the pub. The sweet variants like to snack children in between. Instead of resorting to the sometimes expensive products in the supermarket, you should try once to roast peanuts yourself and spice up to your taste.
To roast peanuts in the oven
Buy the first already peeled and blanched peanuts. Of course you can also use unpeeled peanuts. However, you must then peel them after roasting and before consumption.
- Preheat your oven to 150 degrees. Lay out a baking tray with baking paper and spread the peanuts on it. The nuts should be loosely next to each other. Put the tray on the center shelf in the oven and bake the nuts for about an hour. Unpeeled peanuts take a little more time. When the peanuts reach the desired browning level, remove the sheet from the oven. The nuts are still very hot and must be cooled before eating.
To roast peanuts in a pan
Use shelled peanuts as well. Take a coated pan and heat it on the stove without fat. Add the nuts and roast them with frequent turning for about 20 minutes. Do not forget the stir, the nuts will quickly burn in the pan and then taste bitter.
season roasted peanuts
As long as the peanuts are still warm, you can season them to your taste. The hot nuts absorb the spice well. Let your creativity take over your mind and body.
Examples of spicy nuts
Of course, you can also resort to ready-made spice blends from the trade and produce so extraordinary spicy nuts.
Lovers of sweet nuts sprinkle their roasted peanuts with sugar and cinnamon, for example. So spiced, they go great with mulled wine. Vanilla sugar, orange or lemon sugar are also suitable for sprinkling. Christmassy it becomes with a knife tip speculoos spice in the sugar.
Toasted roasted peanuts also taste delicious if you cover them with a glaze before roasting. For this example, a butter-honey mixture is suitable. Heat about 1 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp butter together in a large saucepan. Mix well with each other and remove the pan from the heat. Add the peanuts and mix everything thoroughly.
Now continue the roasting process in the oven as described. The glaze dries when roasted and gives the peanuts a wonderfully sweet and buttery taste.
