Questions about Spanish peanuts
How do you roast Spanish peanuts at home?
Spread shelled peanuts in one layer on a baking tray and roast at 175 °C for about 15–20 minutes, stirring once. They continue to crisp as they cool, so take them out when they smell toasted rather than waiting for them to feel fully crisp.
Do you need to remove the red skins from Spanish peanuts?
No: the thin red skins are edible and can stay on for roasting, snacking or making peanut butter. To remove them, rub cooled roasted peanuts between your hands and blow away the loosened skins.
What are Spanish peanuts used for?
Their small, round kernels are popular in peanut brittle and other sweets, and they work well roasted as a snack. You can also chop them over noodles or stir them into biscuits and traybakes.
How should you store Spanish peanuts?
Keep them in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark cupboard, away from heat and damp. For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed bag; use them straight from the freezer or let them thaw while still sealed to limit condensation.
Can you use Spanish peanuts instead of ordinary peanuts?
Yes: use them in the same amount for roasting, baking, peanut brittle or sauces. Their smaller kernels may need a little less time to toast, so start checking early.
What is a typical serving of Spanish peanuts?
A small handful, about 28 g, is a practical snack portion. Spanish peanuts provide 26 g of protein per 100 g.
