How to Make Roasted Chestnuts Directions
Preheat oven to 400° F.
Use a sharp knife to cut an “X” into the shell of each chestnut. It is important to pierce the shell, or the chestnuts can explode while roasting.
Place chestnuts in a shallow pan in a single layer.
Place a little water in the bottom of the pan.
For a buttery taste, drizzle melted butter over the tops of the chestnuts.
Roast chestnuts in the oven for 25 minutes.
Remove from oven and put into a towel(they are hot).
Squeeze the towel to crush the shells.
After the chestnuts are warm enough to touch, remove the nuts from the shells.
