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.

Return skillet to oven and roast until they are golden on top. Sprinkle with cinnamon and salt.

Turkey Enchiladas
These turkey enchiladas use leftover Thanksgiving turkey for an easy meal. Serve with sour cream and refried beans if desired.
Pumpkin Muffins with a Twist
This is a delicious pumpkin muffin that is very moist, with pumpkin seeds mixed into the batter. A great twist on pumpkin muffins. Pumpkin seeds are also very good sprinkled on top of the muffins before baking. I also add about two tablespoons of flax seed meal when making the recipe. If the batter seems too thick, more applesauce can be added to achieve the desired consistency.
Peanut Butter Fingers
These peanut butter fingers are soft and slightly chewy with a light peanut butter topping. My mom always made this recipe when we were little.
