Method
The inventive process kicks off with a thorough washing of the chestnuts, followed by the traditional horizontal cut with a knife. It’s crucial to handle this step with care to prevent accidental cuts. Once sliced, let the chestnuts soak in room-temperature water for 20 to 30 minutes.
The subsequent step involves preheating the oven. After the soaking period, arrange the chestnuts on a baking tray and generously sprinkle them with coarse salt. Place the tray in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remember to shake the tray halfway through the cooking time for an even outcome.
Conclusion
This method not only guarantees perfectly roasted castanhas but also simplifies the peeling process post-cooking.
