roasted peanuts

Roasted peanuts are peanuts that have been cooked with dry heat, either in an oven or in oil, until golden and fragrant.

Roasting develops their flavor and creates a satisfying crunch.

They're eaten as a snack, often salted, and associated with ballparks and circuses: Get your roasted peanuts here!
