Roasted Chestnuts
Makes about 2 cups

Roasting chestnuts is easier than you might think. The hardest part is cutting the outer shell to make peeling easier after roasting. Help yourself by using a very sharp knife and placing chestnuts on a kitchen towel while cutting so they are less likely to slip. Once that is done, you just roast and peel.

Ingredients
- 1 pound chestnuts
Method
Preheat the oven to 425°F. With a very sharp paring knife, carefully cut an "X" on the rounded side of each chestnut, making sure to cut through to the meat of the chestnut. (Merely scoring the shell will not make for easy peeling.)
Place chestnuts on a rimmed baking sheet and roast 25 to 30 minutes or until shells begin to peel back and become darker.
Let cool until easy to handle. Peel off outer shell of chesnuts and discard.
