Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F/210°C.
- Using a small pairing knife, cut a cross or a line into the skin of each chestnut.
- Once you have scored the outer shell, place the chestnuts in a bowl of hot water for 1 minute then drain and pat dry. This will help speed the cooking process and avoid burnt chestnuts.
- Place the chestnuts in a single layer over a baking tray covered with aluminium foil, and gather up the edges to form a parcel slightly open on top. Bake them for 20 - 25 minutes, or until they tender.
- You can also roast them in a traditional chestnut pan. Simply cook them over medium heat with a lid on, shaking the pan occasionally for about 30 minutes, or until they are tender.
- Once they're ready, peel the skin off as soon as they cold enough to handle. Do it straight away as it's harder to peel them when they're cold.
Notes
- How Long Do Roasted Chestnuts Last?
- You can enjoy chestnuts right away or store them in an airtight container in the coldest part of your refrigerator. They should last approximately 1-2 weeks.
