Key Ingredients- 1kg fresh chestnuts
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
The first step to delicious roasted chestnuts! Score the skin of each chestnut. Make an ‘X’ or a shallow cut across the rounded side of the chestnut. This helps the shell split open as it cooks, making them easier to peel and ensuring more even roasting. Be careful not to cut too deeply, as this can dry out the chestnut’s flesh.
Step 2
Arrange the scored chestnuts in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding the basket; spreading them out allows hot air to circulate effectively, leading to perfectly roasted chestnuts.
Step 3
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (390°F) and roast the chestnuts for 15 minutes. The exact cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size of the chestnuts and your air fryer model. It’s a good idea to start checking after about 10 minutes. You’ll know they’re almost ready when you start smelling that wonderful nutty aroma.
Step 4
Voila! Your mouth-watering roasted chestnuts are ready. It’s amazing how easily and quickly you can make such a delicious snack with an air fryer – it truly is a kitchen marvel! Enjoy them immediately while they’re warm to fully savor their sweetness and nutty flavor. They’re perfect as a snack for kids or even a delicious accompaniment to an adult beverage.
