Whole Roasted Chestnuts

Ingredients

  • 24 to 30 whole fresh chestnuts 
Directions

Using a sharp knife, cut an X in the flat side of each chestnut.

This allows the shell to peel easily and prevents the nut from exploding during cooking.

 Arrange nuts in a single layer in an ungreased baking pan.

 Bake in a 425 degree F oven for 15 minutes, tossing once or twice.

 Cool slightly; peel while warm. 
Make-ahead.

Tip: Roast and peel chestnuts up to 2 days before using in stuffing. Store, covered, in the refrigerator.
