Remove from the heat, add 500g of raw peanuts, and put the lid on the saucepan. Toss the nuts until they\u2019re all completely coated with the sticky brown syrup (invert the pan several times to make sure).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turn out the coated nuts on to baking parchment laid inside a baking tray of some sort and spread them out into a single layer. Roast gently in a pre-heated oven (gas mark 4, 180\u00b0C, 350\u00b0F) for 20 minutes. After 10 minutes, turn the nuts using a spatula, or simply tip them off the parchment on to the baking tray. They will over-cook extremely easily, so stick to <strong>exactly<\/strong> 20 minutes (maybe even less if you have a fan-assisted oven).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take the tray out of the oven and allow the nuts to cool to room temperature. Store in airtight containers or bags. They will &#8211; or should, if you didn\u2019t over-cook them &#8211; look like those in the photo above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think they\u2019re too salty when you taste them, next time try using half the amount of salt (Marmite is already salty, of course).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are dry roasted peanuts healthy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If raw peanuts are classed as &#8220;healthy&#8221;, the only thing in this recipe that makes them any less so is the sodium (salt) content. You have to face the fact that for many things to taste good, you need salt to act as a flavour enhancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having said that, the amount of salt in an entire batch of these nuts is less than the recommended maximum daily amount of around 2.5g. So unless you scoffed 500g all in one go there would be no issue &#8211; and quite honestly, unless you have high blood pressure, exceeding 2.5g now and again isn&#8217;t going to hurt you. I&#8217;m not saying you should, just that you&#8217;re not going to die on the spot if you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4532794719633406\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently started hankering after dry roasted peanuts as a result of buying a packet for snacking purposes one sunny afternoon.
