Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Roasting the Peanuts
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the raw peanuts on a baking sheet and roast them for about 10-15 minutes or until they are golden brown. Stir occasionally to ensure even roasting.

Cooling the Peanuts
Remove the peanuts from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
- 3
Blending
Transfer the roasted peanuts to a food processor. Blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes. The peanuts will first turn into a powder, then start clumping together before finally becoming creamy.
