Air fryer Roasted Peanuts

Step 1

Preheat air fryer to 390 F or 200 C for 3 minutes. Pour the peanuts in the air fryer basket.

Step 2

Air fry for about 6-8 minutes till dark. Shake the basket a couple of times during the air frying time.

Step 3

Pick out one peanut and check for doneness. If needed air fry for a couple of minutes more.

Step 4

Take them out.

Step 5

Please keep an eye on the peanuts. They go from just under to scorched within a couple of minutes.

Step 6

I prefer to apply any seasoning after I am done roasting. This helps in preventing the spices from burning and bring out their flavor better.

Step 7

You will need to use a bit of oil to help the seasoning stick better to the roasted peanuts. I use about 1 tsp.

Step 8

You can use more depending upon your preference. You can also just add the spices as it is. But they don’t adhere much to the peanuts without oil.

Step 9

I also use this method to roast peanuts. Then remove the skin and prepare peanut butter with these roasted peanuts. Easy and delicious.
