Sort the raw peanuts by picking out any rotten ones and checking for stones and dirt.

Wash the peanuts two times to ensure they are clean.

Place a heavy pot over high flame.

Add the wet peanuts to the pot immediately after washing.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the peanuts and stir to coat them evenly.

Reduce the flame to medium and roast the peanuts until crunchy and the water has completely dried off, tossing them every 3-4 minutes.

Listen for a cracking sound from the peanuts, indicating they are starting to dry out.

Continue tossing and flipping the peanuts until they are completely ready.

Let the peanuts cool for around 3-5 minutes or until completely cool.

Check the peanuts; they should be crunchy and the peel should come off easily.
