How To Make Crushed Roasted Peanuts

Crushed roasted peanuts are a popular addition to many south east Asian dishes and sauces. They’re easy to make too.

You’ll need about 80g raw skinned peanuts (also called blanched peanuts) to yield about ½ cup of crushed roasted peanuts.

• Preheat oven to 180°C.
• Spread peanuts onto a baking tray and place in the oven for about 10–15 minutes, giving them a good shake every 5 minutes or so.
• Keep a close eye on them after the first 5 minutes and remove from the oven as soon as they’re golden.
• Set aside to cool.
• Put them into a plastic bag and gently beat or roll with a rolling pin to crush.
• Store crushed roasted peanuts in a sealed container in the fridge.
