Easy Roasted Chestnuts Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound chestnuts
• 0.25 cup butter
• 1 pinch ground cinnamon
• salt to taste

Instructions

1. Get all your ingredients ready.
2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
3. Rinse and dry the chestnuts. Position a chestnut flat-side down on a cutting board. With a paring knife, carefully score a large "X" on the rounded side, ensuring the cut goes through the outer skin and inner brown layer. This scoring prevents explosions and makes peeling easier after roasting. Arrange the chestnuts in a single layer in a shallow baking pan.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Take them out of the oven, leaving the oven on, and let them cool slightly. Then, peel off the shells and skins while they are still warm.
5. Melt butter in a skillet over high heat. Add the peeled chestnuts and sauté, stirring constantly, until the chestnuts are evenly coated with butter.
6. Place the skillet back in the oven and roast until the chestnuts are golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and sprinkle generously with cinnamon and salt before serving.
