Ingredients
- 1/2 lb whole chestnuts, with shell
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Place the chestnuts on a cutting board on their flat side, so they stay in place. With a large knife, make two cuts in an X shape in the rounded side of the nut, pressing firmly to break through the shell.
- Place chestnuts on a cookie sheet, X-side up.
- Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the edges of the X begin to curl, revealing the golden meat below.
- Remove from oven, and let cool until you can handle them easily.
- Peel away the shell and the fuzzy skin. The nut meat should be soft and golden. (Any black or green means you have a bad nut, and it should be pitched.)
- Roasted chestnuts are best enjoyed warm, but can be kept, peeled, in an airtight container or frozen for future use.
