#roastedChestnuts

I wish we had roasted #chestnuts at our Christmas markets, but they're just not a thing here. So instead, I splurged €20 on chestnuts in #Munich yesterday. 😂 And look at the cool bag I got from one stall: with a pouch for the shells! 😱
I'm currently trying to reheat them in a pan to recreate that toasty taste and feel, but I'm not sure if it'll work. Maybe the oven would be better. 🤔 I'll try with the next handful! 👩‍🔬

A rectangular brown paper bag, branded with stylised red lettering, is filled with freshly roasted chestnuts. The bag features a second pouch for collecting shells. The chestnuts have a glossy, dark brown exterior with characteristic split shells from the roasting process. The bag is held in someone’s hand, with a background that includes a paved area, a bench, and patches of grass, suggesting a street or park setting.

#RoastedChestnuts

Anyone else eat roasted chestnuts? They aren't super amazing, and would be better if I could pick them from a tree rather than pay $10/lb, but it's fun for the season. Goes with the song :^P

They all seem to come from Italy for some reason. I guess no one else grows them commercially.

Two roasted chestnuts on a dull yellow dish. There were ten of them, but I ate a bunch before I thought of making a dumb toot.

The chestnuts are chestnut brown(you think that's where the color name comes from?), and the hulls are split open. You do that with a knife before you roast them. I think they might explode if you don't cut them first. Makes them easier to peel in any case.

The traditional way to roast them is over an open fire, but I used a toaster oven. 450° for 25 minutes.

I got my chestnuts in the mail today. They will be roasted, not on an open fire, trying to head that question off right now.

Have any of you had roasted chestnuts before?

It's cold and wet outside and the leaves are falling. The perfect time for some roasted chestnuts to warm up!
