You can make roasted chestnuts at home by roasting them in the oven until softened, and them cooking them in melted butter with a sprinkling of salt and cinnamon for a delicious festive snack.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chestnuts
- 0.25 cups butter
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- salt to taste
Instructions
-
1
Gather all ingredients.
-
2
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
3
Wash and dry chestnuts. Place flat-side down on a cutting board. Using a paring knife, score a large "X" on the rounded side, covering at least half of the chestnut. Make sure the knife goes through the outer skin and the brown layer underneath. This will aid peeling after being roasted. Place nuts in a shallow baking pan.

-
5
Place nuts in a skillet with butter; sauté over high heat until butter is melted and chestnuts are well coated.
-
6
Return skillet to oven and roast until they are golden on top. Sprinkle with cinnamon and salt.

Six Feet Under Dip
I made this a couple of weeks ago for a Halloween party and it was a pretty big hit! It's also pretty versatile as far as ingredients, as long as you put the green onions on top to mimic grass on a grave. You can use low-fat or reduced-sodium ingredients and it is still 'to die for!'
Guacamole Salad
Fresh avocado, tomato, cucumber, and corn are tossed together to make a delicious, crisp salad for a hot summer day!
Enchiladas Verdes
Delicious enchiladas verdes with homemade spicy tomatillo sauce. I got this recipe from an amazing cook from Puebla and it is the best I've ever tried! I've been perfecting it for over 15 years and realized it was time to share it when my foodie friends tried to drink the sauce out of the saucepan. Be conservative with the Mexican crema and cotija cheese.
