Vincenzo’s Top Tip To Make Roast Chestnuts

Quality above all!

Roasted chestnuts are not hard to make but require getting them to perfection  is of course to buy good quality chestnuts!

Same cut for the rest

Be sure to make this small cut in every single one or else it will pop in the oven (and make a real mess!)

Soaked and covered

Make sure that your  chestnuts are all soaked with water before leaving them for few minutes to make sure that everything is covered.

Roast Chestnuts

Vincenzo's Plate

Equipment

  • Medium size bowl
  • Chopping-board
  • Sharp knife
  • Baking Tray
  • Baking Paper

Ingredients
  

  • Chestnuts
  • Water

Instructions
 

  • Roasted chestnuts are not hard to make but require a few simple steps to get them to perfection and the first is…buy good quality chestnuts!
  • Next, using a sharp (preferably serrated) knife, make a slit down the middle of each one (not too deep) and place them into your bowl.
  • Cover the chestnuts with water, leaving them in the bowl for up to 20 minutes.
  • In the meantime, pre-heat your oven to 180°C/356°F and prepare a baking tray (large enough to fit your chestnuts) lining it with baking paper.
  • Once the chestnuts have been soaking for 20 minutes, strain the water from the bowl and gently pat them dry using a kitchen towel.
  • Next place the chestnuts on the tray with the slit facing up.
  • It’s now time to put the tray in the oven and leave the chestnuts to roast for 30 minutes or until the skins open and inside is tender.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and leave to cool slightly.
