Follow these simple steps to create your Roasted Chestnuts with Butter & Rosemary:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Chestnuts: Rinse the chestnuts under cold water. Using a sharp knife, make a small “X” incision on the flat side of each chestnut. This prevents them from exploding while roasting.
3. Soak (Optional): For extra flavor, soak the chestnuts in water for 30 minutes, then drain and dry them.
4. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the melted butter, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper.
5. Coat the Chestnuts: Toss the prepared chestnuts in the butter and rosemary mixture until they are evenly coated.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the chestnuts out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes. Shake the pan halfway through to ensure even cooking.
8. Check for Doneness: The chestnuts are done when the shells have opened and the flesh is tender. You can test them by piercing a chestnut with a knife.
9. Cool Slightly: Remove the chestnuts from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
10. Peel and Serve: Carefully peel the chestnuts while they are still warm and serve them with any remaining butter and rosemary mixture drizzled on top.
