Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Roasted Chestnuts with Butter and Cinnamon.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, give your chestnuts a good wash and dry them thoroughly.
Step 3
Place them flat-side down on a cutting board, and with a paring knife, gently score a large 'X' on the rounded side of each chestnut.
Step 4
Make sure to cut through the outer skin and the brown layer beneath; this little trick will make peeling them a breeze after roasting.
Step 5
Next, arrange the scored chestnuts in a shallow baking pan, keeping them flat-side down for even roasting.
Step 6
Pop the pan into your preheated oven and let the chestnuts roast for about 25 to 30 minutes.
Step 7
When they’re done, take them out and let them cool for a few moments before you start peeling off those shells.
Step 8
In the meantime, grab a skillet and melt some butter over high heat.
Step 9
Once the butter is bubbling, toss in the peeled chestnuts, ensuring they’re well coated in that delicious melted goodness.
Step 10
Return the skillet to the oven and roast the chestnuts until they turn a lovely golden brown on top.
Step 11
Just before serving, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon and a dash of salt over the roasted chestnuts for that perfect finishing touch.
Step 12
Enjoy the warm, nutty aroma as you savor this delightful treat!.
