Roasted Chestnuts

Roasted chestnuts are such a traditional winter treat that there's a song about them - sing along as you roast your own chestnuts.

Yield 4-6 servings
Time 30-45 minutes
Tools
  • knife
  • baking sheet or cast iron pan
  • clean kitchen towel
Ingredients
  • 24 uncracked chestnuts
Directions Preheat oven to 400.

Have an adult carve an X into the flat side of each chestnut (otherwise they will explode) and place on the baking sheet. Bake about 30 minutes, until pressing a chestnut cracks the shell open easily.

Wrap chestnuts in a towel until ready to eat. Squeeze open the shell, peel off shell and nut coating, and enjoy.
