Homemade roasted chestnut recipe

1. Wash the chestnuts and cut the top of the chestnut with scissors. Try to make the cut as long as possible and not too deep. You will understand after cutting a few times. If you don’t have sharp scissors, use a utility knife. Also, if you only cut a little bit of the top of the chestnut, the chestnut will expand due to the internal heat during the baking process and burst all over the oven. Don’t disbelieve it. If your oven has a non-stick inner liner, you can try it, haha

2. Spread the cut chestnuts evenly on the baking tray. It is best not to pile them in two layers.

3. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees, no reservation required, in the middle and lower layers for about 20 minutes

4. Wait until the chestnuts open naturally, then peel one and taste it to see if it is cooked. If not, add a few more minutes.
