Chef Christina Pirello
1 pound Italian Chestnuts
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a sharp paring knife, cut a small cross into the round side of each chestnut. Lightly oil the surface of each chestnut and arrange on the lined baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the crosses pop open and the nuts yield easily to pressure, splitting the skins. Dip your oily fingers in salt and eat the chestnuts.
Makes 4 servings.
