Clean the Chestnuts: Thoroughly wash the chestnuts under cold running water to remove any dirt. After rinsing, drain them well and set aside.
-
Make Incisions: Using a sharp knife, score the chestnuts by making a shallow “X” shape on the flat side of each nut. This allows steam to escape during cooking and helps the shells peel off more easily once roasted.
-
Cook the Chestnuts: Place the scored chestnuts in a microwave-safe bowl. Set your microwave to the combination setting (microwave + grill) at 1000W (or the highest power available) and cook for 5 minutes.
-
Grill for Extra Crispness: After the initial 5 minutes, switch to the grill function and cook for an additional 2 minutes. This will give the chestnuts a lovely roasted flavor and texture.
-
Rest and Peel: Once done, let the chestnuts rest for about 10 minutes. This step helps them cool down slightly and makes peeling easier.
-
Serve: After resting, peel the chestnuts while they are still warm and serve them in a small bowl. Enjoy the sweet, nutty goodness of freshly roasted chestnuts!
