Equipment

  • Oven
  • bread knife
  • baking paper

Ingredients
 

  • 400 grams chestnuts

DIP (OPTION)

  • salted butter
  • 6 tbsp cane sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Boil water. Add the chestnuts to a heat-resistant bowl. Cover them with the boiled water and let them rest for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 175°C (or 350°F) and use the fan oven (convection) function.
  • Discard the water and pat the chestnuts dry with a tea towel.
  • Cut an “X” into the rounded side of each chestnut. This is easiest with a bread knife.
  • Place the cut chestnuts on an oven tray lined with baking paper, and place the chestnut with the “X” upwards.
  • Roast the chestnuts for 30 to 40 minutes. They’re ready when the cuts have opened and curled outward.
  • Serve the chestnuts while they’re still warm. You can use a teaspoon to open them more easily.
  • Serve with butter and/or cane sugar mixed with cinnamon.
