Air Fryer Chestnuts

When I think of Autumn, I immediately remember the comforting aroma of roasted chestnuts that perfumes every corner of Lisbon. To avoid the cold and rain, I decided to create my own recipe for roasted chestnuts in the air fryer.

Simply choose some good quality chestnuts and season them with salt. It's a simple, practical, and healthier way to recreate the traditional taste of roasted chestnuts at home - warm and full of flavor.

Here are some great recipe ideas you can make in the air fryer: Air fryer pork bites, Air fryer chicken drumsticks, Quick and easy air fryer meatballs or this Air fryer French fries.

HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER CHESTNUTS

Step 1: Wash the chestnuts very well.

Step 2: Using a sharp knife, make a crosswise cut in each chestnut.

Step 3: Place the chestnuts in a bowl with hot water and salt (1 teaspoon). Let them soak for about 30 minutes.

Step 4: Dry the chestnuts and place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Season the chestnuts with salt (1 teaspoon). You will have to work in batches if your air fryer does not have enough space.

Step 5: Air fry for about 20 minutes at 200ºC (400ºF), (flipping halfway).
