Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, I’ll guide you through a super easy recipe for making roasted peanuts right at home using your air fryer. Freshly roasted peanuts have an exceptional nutty flavor and satisfying crunch.
Step 2
First, before placing them in the air fryer, remove any loose shell pieces or debris from the raw peanuts. Since this recipe involves roasting them in their shells to be peeled later, there’s no need for washing. Next, line your air fryer basket or tray with parchment paper. (I used the Air-Maid iCook model.) Spread the 3 cups of raw peanuts evenly on the prepared parchment paper.
Step 3
Now it’s time to roast the peanuts in the air fryer. Preheat your air fryer to 180℃ (350℉) for 5 minutes, then add the peanuts. Roast for a total of 10 minutes at 180℃ (350℉). Shaking the basket halfway through will help ensure even roasting. (Pro Tip: Roasting at 180℃ for 5 minutes, shaking, and then another 5 minutes works great!)
Step 4
Voila! Your incredibly simple air fryer roasted peanuts are ready. Carefully remove the roasted peanuts from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Once they’ve cooled down a bit but are still warm, peeling them will be a breeze – the shells should come off easily. Enjoy your delicious, crunchy homemade roasted peanuts!
