Once home, I cut a cross into the side of the chestnut and put some in a 200C / 400F oven to roast for about 15 minutes or until they pop open as shown in the photo. Be sure you do check on them as they can burn easily. Let them cool slightly and peel them.
That evening I added them to our meal. Combine Brussel sprouts, potatoes, onion, bacon bits and chestnuts all tossed in a hot pan with olive oil for a truly autumn taste.
Bon appitit or eet smakelijk!

hum, never heard of adding them to a meal. Just thought you just ate them.
I think I tried them in England and didn't like them that much. Just the thought of them is fun though.
Love you, Mom
Sounds like a great recipe. I love sprouts. We like to make Chestnut stuffing. Linda
Yummy ! I like to pick up things when I wander : always better and more tasty than the same bought in a shop ! Thanks for your recipe !
I've never, ever had them and yet they are such a part of the Christmas season because of 'chestnuts roasting on an open fire.' You made a lovely meal of them.
