Hawaii Boiled Peanuts in an InstaPot Recipe
Hawaiian Boiled Peanuts are a local snack we all grew up eating in Hawaii. Hereâs how to make it (and eat it) ^_^
What Are Hawaiian Boiled Peanuts?
Hawaiian boiled peanuts are unique in the way theyâre seasoned. We use Hawaiian Alea Sea Salt, lots of sliced ginger, star anise and black peppercorns. Our boiled peanuts are tender and sweet, so aromatic. They are pretty tasty devoured at room temperature, but so onolicious when hot.
About Hawaiian Sea Salt
Hawaiian Sea Salt is an essential ingredient in any Hawaii kitchen. Itâs also one of the key ingredients in this recipe. The grains of Hawaiian sea salt are much larger than typical table salt, and itâs also less salty tasting.
Hawaiian Sea Salt is a key ingredient for many Hawaii dishes including Lau Lau and Beef Stew. Large grains and a not-as-salty flavor is what makes this Hawaiian sea salt distinct. Try Smoky Hawaiian Salt an Ono flavor.
Kosher salt will work in a pinch, but please try your best to seek out Hawaiian sea saltâŠit will make a big difference in the final recipe.
When And How Do You Eat Boiled Peanuts
Here in Hawaii, youâll find boiled peanuts everywhere. We take them to the beach and on hikes in little containers for snack, we bring them for after school treats. They make frequent appearances at potluck parties and family get-togethers. Picture a group of friends sitting around a table, cracking open and snacking on boiled peanuts (hopefully with beer on the side), and catching up on life. Itâs good times ^_^
Theyâre great at all temperatures (chilled from the fridge, room temperature, and hot from the pot), and make a fun, interactive snack. Boiled peanuts have a texture of a just-cooked bean and you can taste hints of all the spices, plus a touch of natural sweetness.
We often eat boiled peanuts at home instead of popcorn (unless itâs Hurricane Popcorn!) when watching movies.
Or better yet, make your own boiled peanuts!
Then you go home and rinse the peanuts. Rinse them well and pick out any debris or funny looking pieces.
Weâre making these peanuts in the Instant Pot ???? (For instructions on how to make it on the stove, scroll down to the ânotesâ part of the recipe.)
Put all the rinsed peanuts into the pot. Top it with the Hawaiian sea salt, star anise, ginger, and black peppercorns.
Note: I like to use 1/4 cup Hawaiian sea salt for 1 pound of raw peanuts, but feel free to increase the Hawaiian sea salt to 1/3 cup if you prefer it more salty.Â
The measurements for the star anise, ginger, and black peppercorns are also flexible. I suggest making it first with my measurements (recipe below), and then increase or decrease any of the spices to your liking. Sometimes in Hawaii we also add Chili Pepper or Cayenne Pepper.
Add the 10 cups of water to the pot â this should be just enough to cover the peanuts. Youâll notice that the peanuts float to the top, but you want them to be submerged.
The solution? Place something heavier on top to keep the peanuts from floating. We used a heatproof plate and put it upside down, but Iâve seen many different contraptions. (A popular one is placing a metal trivet on top of the peanuts and then topping the trivet with an upside-down glass ramekin.) Anything that can keep the peanuts submerged is fair game. You must keep the plate/contraption in the Instant Pot while cooking.
Using the manual setting, cook the peanuts on high pressure for 45-minutes, followed by a natural pressure release.
Once the peanuts are cool enough to handle, drain the liquid and remove the spices. You are ready to share and snack.

Ingredients
- 1 pound raw peanuts
- 1/4 cup Hawaiian sea salt
- 6 whole pieces of star anise
- 4 inch piece of ginger, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
- 10 cups water
Instructions
- Rinse the raw peanuts and pick out any debris. Place the raw peanuts in a large pot.
- Top with the sea salt, star anise, ginger, and black peppercorns. Cover with water.
- If cooking with the Instant Pot/pressure cooker, use the manual setting, and cook on high pressure for 45 minutes.
Notes
If you are cooking on the stove (as opposed to Instant Pot/pressure cooker), soak the raw peanuts in water overnight before cooking.

Stir every 15 minutes and check for doneness after 1-hour.
