Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Place the raw peanuts in the air fryer basket and spread them out evenly in the basket.
Air fry the peanuts at 320°F (160°C) for 6-8 minutes or until they turn golden. Shake the basket at least twice during the roasting process.
Remove the peanuts from the air fryer and place them on a plate to cool at room temperature. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container. Your Air Fryer Roasted Peanuts are ready. Enjoy!

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the raw peanuts evenly on a rimmed baking sheet.
Bake the peanuts at 350˚F for 15-20 minutes, or until they turn golden and smell roasted. Stir them at least twice during the roasting process. Remove them from the oven and let them cool completely.

Cook in batches: Make sure to spread the raw peanuts in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook in batches if needed.
Shake the basket halfway: It's important to shake the basket halfway through to ensure the peanuts cook evenly.
Peanuts not crispy?: In humid weather, peanuts may lose their crunch. If this happens, air fry them for an additional 2-3 minutes to restore their crispiness.
If you plan to season the peanuts, add the spices toward the end of cooking to prevent them from burning.
The exact cooking time will vary based on the air fryer being used.
