Ingredients
Procedure
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

- Once you have cut all the nuts soak them in a bowl of super hot water for 2 minutes.
- Lay out a large piece of foil onto a rimmed baking sheet. Gather up the edges to make a little wall.
- Place the chestnuts (flat side down, X side up) inside the foil. Try not to overlap.
- Add melted butter and spices in a bowl and mix to combine.
- Pour over chestnuts and roast for about 30 minutes until the shells are curved back and the meaty flesh is exposed.
- Peel while still warm and dip in butter sauce.
