Ingredients
Instructions
- Add peanuts to the beaten egg white mixture and stir to coat evenly.
- Spread the coated peanuts in a jelly roll pan that has melted butter in it.

Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or cayenne pepper to the egg whites before coating the peanuts. If you prefer a lighter option, try using olive oil instead of butter. Adjust the baking time based on your oven's calibration, as some may cook faster or slower. Stirring every 10 minutes helps achieve an even roast. This recipe is simple and can be a great alternative to snacks like Uncooked Coconut Candy.
Serving Suggestions
These roasted peanuts make a perfect snack on their own or can be served alongside drinks at a gathering. They also pair beautifully with a salad or as a topping for dishes like Corn Souffle Or Corn Pudding. For a fun twist, mix them into trail mix or serve them with a cheese platter for added crunch.
Storage & Reheating
Once the peanuts have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container or a can to keep them fresh and crunchy. They can last for up to two weeks at room temperature. If you prefer to enjoy them warm, simply reheat in a single layer on a baking sheet at 300°F for about 10 minutes before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use unsalted peanuts for this recipe?
Yes, you can use unsalted peanuts; just adjust the salt to your taste when baking. Keep in mind that salted peanuts enhance the flavor, so you might want to add a pinch of salt to the egg whites if you opt for unsalted.
What can I do if my peanuts are not evenly coated?
If the peanuts are not evenly coated, you can try gently stirring them again to ensure they are well mixed with the egg whites. Alternatively, you can add a little more egg white to help with the coating before spreading them on the pan.
How do I know when the peanuts are done baking?
The peanuts are done when they are golden brown and fragrant, which usually takes about 30 minutes at 325°F. Stirring every 10 minutes helps prevent burning and ensures an even roast, so keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time.
