Ingredients
- 4 cups unsalted roasted skinless peanuts
- ½ tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for roasting the peanuts evenly.
- Arrange Peanuts: Spread the 4 cups of unsalted roasted skinless peanuts evenly on a baking sheet to ensure they roast uniformly.
- Bake Peanuts: Bake the peanuts in the oven for 10 minutes, which will help to bring out their natural oils and enhance the flavor.
- Transfer to Food Processor: Carefully remove the hot peanuts from the oven and immediately transfer them to a food processor, ensuring safety with heat.
- Initial Processing: Process the peanuts for about 5 minutes, periodically scraping down the sides to help create an even texture.
- Continue Blending: Continue processing until the peanut butter turns smooth and runny, reaching the desired consistency.
- Cool and Store: Transfer the peanut butter to a jar and leave the lid off while it cools completely to prevent condensation and spoilage.
- Store Properly: Once cooled, store the peanut butter in a dark place like your pantry for best freshness.
Notes
- For creamier peanut butter, process longer until smooth.
- Adjust salt to taste if desired.
- Can be stored at room temperature for up to a month; refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Use roasted peanuts for best flavor; raw peanuts will require longer roasting.
