It's not Christmas without chestnuts roasting somewhere ... a fire, your stove, anywhere that families gather!
Ingredients:
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425° F.
- Place chestnuts on a dish towel or other non-slip surface on a cutting board.
- Carefully cut an "X" on the flat side of each chestnut with a sharp paring knife, making sure to cut through both the shell and skin.
- Place chestnuts on a baking sheet with cut side facing up.
- Roast for 20 to 30 minutes until chestnuts are tender and golden, and the shells begin to open.
- When cool enough to handle, peel and eat. They are easiest to peel while warm.
