Cinnamon Butter Roasted Chestnuts
Ingredients
  • 1 pound chestnuts
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon
  • salt to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to its optimal temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius for those using metric measurements).
2
First, thoroughly clean and dry the chestnuts before placing them flat-side down on a cutting surface. Using a sharp paring knife, carefully carve an 'X' shape across the rounded side of each chestnut, ensuring that at least half of its surface is exposed. This strategic cut will facilitate easy peeling after roasting, as it cuts through the outer skin and a layer of brown beneath.
3
Arrange the chestnuts in a shallow baking dish, allowing them to spread out evenly.
4
Next, bake these chestnuts in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Once done, carefully remove them from the oven and allow them to cool before proceeding with peeling off their shells.
5
Now, take these roasted chestnuts and place them in a skillet over high heat. Add some butter to the pan, allowing it to melt and coat the chestnuts evenly. Return the skillet to the oven and roast these chestnuts further until they're golden on top.
6
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over the roasted chestnuts and add a touch of salt to bring out their full flavor.
