Chestnuts are a seasonal favorite, now widely available even in major supermarket produce sections. Not only are they incredibly tasty, but they're packed with nutrients too.
Discover the full health benefits of chestnuts on the BeBio website.
Versatile chestnuts can be roasted, boiled, pureed, or even popped—each method yields fantastic results. Try these two simple ways to make irresistible chestnut snacks.
Ingredients:
– Fresh chestnuts
– Milk and honey, or sea salt (depending on your preparation method)
Preparation Methods:
Boiled Chestnuts
Score a slit in the pointed end of each chestnut. Simmer in boiling water for 3 minutes, then cool slightly and peel. Return peeled chestnuts to boiling water and simmer for 30 minutes (or 1 hour total if pureeing). For a sweet twist, swap water for milk with honey. For savory, add sea salt.
Roasted Chestnuts
Score a slit in the pointed end. In a frying pan, sauté with a pat of butter or extra virgin olive oil until golden. Alternatively, roast in a preheated 200°C oven for about 15 minutes, drizzled with olive oil and sea salt.
Enjoy your wholesome chestnut snacks!
