Instructions
- Place the chestnuts into a container, cover them with plenty of water, and leave them to soak for two hours.
- Once the time has elapsed, preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F), drain the nuts and discard the water.
- Score a cross onto the skin of each chestnut, making sure to not cut into the pulp. Be careful not to cut yourself during the process.
- Evenly distribute the chestnuts over a baking tray with the cuts facing up and bake them for 35 to 45 minutes, depending upon the size of the chestnuts.
- Once the time has elapsed, remove the chestnuts from the oven and let them cool down completely before devouring the entire batch.
