Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups raw peanuts, unsalted
  • ½ tsp salt, or to taste

Method
 

  1. Roast the peanuts: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread the peanuts on a baking tray and roast for 8–10 minutes until golden and fragrant.
  2. Peel (optional): You can rub the roasted peanuts in a kitchen towel to remove the skins. Don’t worry if you don’t peel all of them — a little skin won’t hurt!
  3. Blend: Add peanuts to a food processor (or high-speed blender). Blend in stages, scraping down the sides as needed:
    First, they’ll turn crumbly.
    Keep going and they’ll form a dough-like paste.
    Finally, the oils release and you’ll get smooth, creamy peanut butter.
  4. Season: Add salt to taste and blend again briefly.
  5. Store: Transfer to a clean, airtight jar. Store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
