How do you roast chestnuts?
With a sharp knife, cut a cross (X) on the flat side of
each chestnut. Spread the chestnuts in a shallow pan,
add ¼ cup water, and bake in a 450 degree F oven for 15
minutes or until the shells open. Peel while hot using a
sharp knife. The inner brown skin is bitter and must be
pulled off while still warm.
