🥘 Ingredients
fresh chestnuts — 500 g (1.1 lb)
olive oil — 1 tablespoon
salt — 1 pinch
👨🍳 Steps
1Rinse the fresh chestnuts well under cold running water.
2Using a sharp knife, deeply score a cross on the rounded side of each chestnut – this step is essential to prevent bursting during cooking.
3Dry the chestnuts with a clean kitchen towel.
4Place the scored chestnuts in the air fryer basket, with the cut side up.
5Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for 3 minutes.
6Cook the chestnuts at 200°C (400°F) for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket gently halfway through.
7The chestnuts are ready when the cuts have opened wide and the skin peels off easily.
8Serve immediately while still warm for the best texture and flavor.
