Instructions

  1. Start by placing the slices of speck on a cutting board, one at a time. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut each slice in half lengthwise. This will give you long, thin pieces to wrap around the chestnuts.
  2. Next, take each chestnut and wrap it in half of the speck slice.
  3. Roll the speck tightly around the chestnut to make sure it holds together. Continue this process until all of the chestnuts are wrapped in speck.
  4. Line an oven dish with a sheet of baking paper to prevent sticking. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) so it’s ready for baking when you finish preparing the chestnuts.
  5. Arrange the speck-wrapped chestnuts in the baking dish, leaving a little space between each one.
  6. Sprinkle a few rosemary needles over them to add a fragrant flavor. Then, drizzle a small amount of extra virgin olive oil over the chestnuts to help them crisp up while baking.
  7. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until you see the speck becoming crispy.
  8. Once done, take the chestnuts out of the oven and transfer them to a serving plate. Garnish with a few sprigs of fresh rosemary for extra aroma and serve immediately while still warm.
