Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Sharp Knife

Ingredients
  

Roasted Chestnuts

  • 500 grams fresh chestnuts
  • 10 ml olive oil optional
  • salt to taste, optional

Instructions
 

  • Soak chestnuts in a bowl of water for 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
  • Score an 'X' on the flat side of each chestnut with a sharp knife.
  • Lightly coat chestnuts with olive oil if desired.
  • Preheat air fryer to 190°C (375°F).
  • Place chestnuts in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-15 minutes, shaking halfway through.
  • Let the chestnuts cool slightly, then peel and enjoy.

Notes

Scoring chestnuts prevents bursting. Soaking helps make them easier to peel and keeps them moist inside.
