on Jan 07, 2015, Updated Sep 21, 2021 19 Comments Roasted peanuts have always made one of my mother’s favorite snacks and one that I remember her making often as I was growing up. I would smell their warm nutty flavor coming from the kitchen in the evenings after supper dishes were long cleared away. When I’d find my way into the kitchen to help her, she’d be pulling the peanuts out of the oven and gently tossing pinches of salt in with them to coat the peanuts while they were still warm. It had been a year or so since I’d made roasted peanuts, turning instead to those that I could quickly pick up at the grocery store in the snack aisle. You know the kind, a cute little peanut with a monocle decorates the front of the container? Anyway, for Christmas this year, a friend of ours gave us a box of raw peanuts and we’ve been a bit obsessed with making roasted peanuts since. They are perfect for parties, nibbling while watching the football game, and just grabbing a handful every time you pass by them on the counter. Ha! Here’s how we make our skillet roasted peanuts. We love them! Enjoy!Robyn xo
