This method results in the traditional dry roasted taste and fragrance you can't get any other way. If
you make them while eating dinner, they will be ready after the meal.
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Wipe the chestnuts with a damp cloth to remove any dust. With a sharp knife, cut an X into one
side of each chestnut-- if you don't cut them they will explode and make a mess. Arrange chestnuts
on a baking sheet in a single layer with the cut sides up.
3. Roast in oven for 15 to 25 minutes, or until chestnuts are tender. Allow to cool enough to
handle before peeling off the outer and inner husk.
