How Do You Roast Chestnuts In The Oven?
Longing for something a little different over the holidays? All you have to do is just follow some brief and simple steps, and you’re well on your way to enjoying a cozy, storybook-style winter’s night and warm up with some traditionally toasty chestnuts. Step 1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Step 2 Clean off chestnuts. Step 3 Use a sharp paring knife to cut an X into one side of each chestnut, or prick chestnuts with a fork to allow steam to escape. Step 4 Arrange chestnuts on a baking sheet or in a shallow pan, with the cut or pricked sides up. Step 5 Roast in oven for 15 to 25 minutes, or until chestnuts are tender and easy to peel. Step 6 Peel the nuts when they are cool enough to handle, and enjoy.
