Enjoy the delightful taste of roasted chestnuts with a hint of aromatic spices, perfect for a cozy evening.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Using a sharp knife, cut a cross into the flat side of each chestnut.
Cutting a cross allows steam to escape and makes peeling easier.
Place the chestnuts in a roasting pan lined with parchment paper.
Lining the pan prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Drizzle the chestnuts with olive oil and sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg.
Toss the chestnuts to ensure they are evenly coated with the spices.
Roast the chestnuts in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the shells start to peel back and the insides are tender.
Check the chestnuts halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Remove the chestnuts from the oven and let them cool slightly before peeling.
Peeling is easier while the chestnuts are still warm.
Serve the roasted chestnuts warm and enjoy.
Pair with your favorite beverage for a cozy treat.
