Roasted Chestnuts with Sage
 
 
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 cups fresh unshelled chestnuts
  • 2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • flake salt (for finish, optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil. Turn off heat, add chestnuts and let stand for 1 minute. Remove chestnuts from pot and set aside on paper towels to drain.
  3. Using a serrated knife, carefully cut an X on the rounded side of each chestnut.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the chestnuts, sage leaves, butter and salt; toss to combine.
  5. Line a baking sheet with foil. Pour the chestnut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and arrange in a single layer. Gather edges of foil around the chestnuts, leaving a large opening on top.
  6. Bake until the shells begin to peel back and the chestnuts are cooked through, 30-35 minutes.
  7. Season chestnuts with flake salt, if using, and serve hot or warm.
