Roasted Peanuts

Place the salt and water in a large pot. Stir to dissolve salt. Add the peanuts and place a dinner plate or colander over the top of the peanuts to keep them submerged. Allow the peanuts to soak for about 8 hours.

Drain the peanuts in a colander. Spread the peanuts out on two baking sheets and allow to dry out overnight or 8 hours.*

Roast the peanuts for 25 to 30 minutes at 350 degrees. The peanuts will become crisper as they cool.

* The first two steps give the peanuts a slightly salty taste. Feel free to skip these two steps if you do not want the peanuts to be salty or if you are in a hurry.
