These Crockpot Boiled Peanuts are an irresistible treat, offering rich flavor combined with easy preparation. Made with simple ingredients, they are perfect for a quick snack or a comfort food indulgence.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs raw peanuts in shells
- ¼ cup salt
- water
Instructions
- Rinse and soak the peanuts. Sort through the raw peanuts to remove any debris, rinse them, and soak in cold water for about 30 minutes before draining.
- Add the peanuts to the crockpot. Place the rinsed peanuts in your slow cooker and sprinkle in the salt, adding enough water to cover by about an inch.
- Cook on high. Set your crockpot to high and allow the peanuts to cook for approximately 7½ hours, adjusting to your personal softness preference.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Halfway through cooking, sample a peanut and if needed, add more salt and stir the mixture.
- Monitor the water level. Ensure that the peanuts remain fully submerged while cooking, adding more water if necessary.
- Drain and serve. Once the peanuts are tender and flavored, drain them and enjoy warm, or store them for later snacking.
Notes
You can adjust the cooking time based on your texture preference for peanuts.
If you like your peanuts saltier, add more salt gradually during cooking.
