Crunchy Peanut Butter

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the salted peanuts evenly on a baking sheet.

Roast the peanuts in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until fragrant and lightly browned.

Remove the peanuts from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for about 2 minutes.

Transfer the warm roasted peanuts to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment.

Process the peanuts for 5-7 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until the peanuts release their natural oils and form a smooth butter with visible peanut pieces.

Add the butter to the food processor and pulse 2-3 times to incorporate and create a creamier texture while maintaining crunchiness.

Transfer the crunchy peanut butter to a clean jar or airtight container. Allow it to cool to room temperature before sealing.
