Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Sun Curing

    Spread the raw peanuts in a single layer on a clean surface under direct sunlight. Allow them to cure for 1-2 days, turning occasionally, until they feel dry to the touch.

  2. 2

    Blistering

    In a large pot, heat some water until boiling. Add the cured peanuts and boil for about 10 minutes. This will help create the blisters on the peanuts.

  3. 3

    Roasting

    Drain the peanuts and spread them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Cooling and Serving

    Once roasted, remove the peanuts from the oven and let them cool. Serve as a snack or store in an airtight container.
