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.

Carve an X into the flat side of each chestnut – this is essential, because otherwise they will explode.

Place them on the baking sheet and 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.

Notes Adapted from The Moosewood Collective’s Moosewood Restaurant Celebrates: Festive meals for holidays and special occasions. It’s part of the vegetarian Christmas menu.
