Salted Chestnuts (Castagne al Sale)

Category: Sweets

Servings: 2

Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Chestnuts 500g
Coarse Sea Salt 500g

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chestnuts: Start by making a small incision at the base of each chestnut with a sharp knife. This will help make the peeling process easier after cooking.

  2. Soak the Chestnuts: Place the chestnuts in a bowl of water and let them soak for 30 minutes. Soaking them allows for a smoother peeling process once they’re cooked.

  3. Drain and Dry: After the soaking time, drain the chestnuts and gently pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  4. Cook the Chestnuts: In a large pan, pour in the coarse sea salt and spread it evenly across the bottom. Then, add the soaked and dried chestnuts on top of the salt.

    • Cook over medium heat for about 20-25 minutes, turning them occasionally using kitchen tongs to ensure even roasting. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the chestnuts.
  5. Serve: Once the chestnuts are beautifully roasted and crispy on the outside, remove the pan from the heat. Serve the salted chestnuts hot for the best flavor.

Enjoy this savory and delightful treat as a comforting snack, perfect for colder months!
