Roasted Chestnuts

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. While oven is heating, use a sharp, pointed knife to make a horizontal slice or an “X” in the skin of each chestnut. (This is an essential step that prevents the chestnuts from exploding.)
3. Arrange sliced chestnuts on a baking sheet with the flat side down and the sliced side facing up.
4. Roast in middle rack of oven for 15-20 minutes. Return occasionally to shake pan.
5. Remove from oven and let cool until chestnuts are still warm, but no longer hot to touch.
6. Remove skins and discard.
