Roasted Chestnuts

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 425 F. Wash the chestnuts and, with a sharp knife, make an X cut on each one of them (that will make it easy to cook and prevents the chestnuts from exploding in the oven).
2. 2
   Spread them evenly in a baking sheet with the cut side facing up and sprinkle salt on them.
3. 3
   Place in the oven in the middle rack and roast for about 35 minutes, shaking the pan once in a while to rotate them so they cook evenly.
4. 4
   Peel the chestnuts as soon as possible (but watch your fingers!)
5. 5
   because after cooling down completely they are difficult to peel.
6. 6
   Plus, they taste better warm.
7. 7
   Pair them with your favorite red wine.

   Enjoy!
