How to Prepare
🔥 Preheat the oven to 350F (177C). 🌰 Take a chestnut cutter and place a chestnut right in the middle to cut. Make sure the chestnut is flat and the pointy part of the chestnut is facing you. ⏲️ Once they are all cut, place them on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes. Ours take 30 minutes but the time will depend on your oven. 🥣 Then take them out of the oven, place them in a bowl that is lined with a lint-free kitchen towel, and cover them. 😋 We usually let the Roasted Chestnuts rest for 5 minutes and then peel them while they are still warm.
