It’s fun to serve warm chestnuts to your guests and let them each peel their own. Just provide little bowls for the shells.

Ingredients

  • 18 chestnuts, rinsed

Method

  1. Center the oven rack. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Using a sharp paring knife, carefully cut a 1-inch X shape into the flat side of each chestnut, deep enough to cut through the shell and into the flesh. Arrange the chestnuts cut side up in a baking dish
