Cooking
Roasted Chestnuts
· 4 servings
Score the shells
Chestnuts always need to be cooked before eating — never eat them raw. Before doing anything else, score the shell in a cross shape, with each cut about 3 cm long. Cut all the way through the shell, and it's fine to nick the flesh of the chestnut slightly too.
Roast in the oven
Arrange the chestnuts on a baking tray, cut side up, and roast for about 15 to 20 minutes at 200°C.
Watch the shell darken
The shell will start to darken, the scored cross will open up, and the exposed flesh will begin to take on a darker colour. Just be careful that the shell only turns dark brown, not black and burnt.
