This was mostly a novelty thing. I’ve never had roasted chestnuts, or chestnuts at all for that matter. So, when I saw the big bin of chestnuts at my favorite grocery store I had to try some. They turned out pretty good. Reminded me of a combination of a potato and a nut with a subtle but noticeable sweetness.

Roasted Chestnuts

How ever many you want. :-p

Preheat oven to 400F. Make a ~1/2 inch slit on the flat side of each chestnut. I made sure the slit was facing up when I put them on the try. Bake for 30min. Peel when cool to touch.
