Dan Roman's Buttery Roasted Chestnuts in Foil image

These peel 'n' eat chestnuts are truly finger-licking delicious. Make sure to score the nuts deeply so that the peels will open as they roast.

Yield Serve 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds fresh unshelled chestnuts
2-3 sprigs rosemary
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons (or more) kosher salt
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Place a large sheet of foil on a rimmed baking sheet. Place chestnuts, flat side down, on a work surface. Using a utility knife or a sharp paring knife, carefully cut through the shell on the rounded side of each chestnut to score an X. Soak in a bowl of hot water for 1 minute (this helps them steam while roasting).
  • Drain chestnuts and pat dry; place in a medium bowl. Add rosemary, butter, 2 teaspoons salt, and nutmeg. Season with pepper and toss to thoroughly coat. Arrange chestnuts in a single layer in center of foil (a few might overlap) and gather up edges of foil around chestnuts, leaving a large opening on top.
  • Roast until the peel begins to curl up and chestnuts are cooked through, 30-45 minutes, depending on size and age of nuts.
  • Transfer chestnuts to a platter, using a spatula to scrape in any butter and spices with them, and toss to coat. Season with more salt, if desired. Serve hot or warm.

I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to try roasting chestnuts. I'm afraid I'll burn them.

I've never seen roasted chestnuts sold in my grocery store. I'll have to keep an eye out for them.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I wasn't able to try these chestnuts. But my friends who did said they were delicious.

I used dried chestnuts and they turned out great! I soaked them overnight before roasting them.

The chestnuts were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some spices next time.
