INGREDIENTS:

  • 600 g (1.3 lb) fresh chestnuts
  • Boiling water (for soaking)
  • Salt to taste (optional)

PREPARATION:

Wash and dry the chestnuts very well, then make a cut on the side of each one.

Meanwhile, preheat the air fryer for about 3 minutes at 180°C (355°F). This helps keep the roasting consistent and makes the process more efficient.

Cut the chestnuts in an X or lengthwise.

Place the chestnuts in a bowl, add the coarse salt and toss to coat.

Pour hot water over them and let them rest for 20 minutes.

Drain the water and arrange the chestnuts in the air fryer basket.

Roast in the air fryer at 200°C (390°F) for 25 minutes (shake the basket after 10 minutes).

Peel them while they are still hot so the skin comes off more easily. Serve warm.
