Roasted Chestnuts
Holidays! Chestnuts roasting on a open fire…well, how about in the oven instead. My Father made Roasted Chestnuts every year. During culinary school, I was lucky enough to get a chestnut knife making it much easier and safer to score them.
The recipe is very simple. Score each chestnut with a chestnut or a curved paring knife. Place the cut side up and roast in a 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes depending on their size. Remove from the oven. Hold each chestnut with a clean towel, one at a time, and peel removing the shell and skin.
