My husband loves roasted chestnuts, so as the weather gets colder, I often make these savory and sweet treats at home. The method is simple: just score the chestnuts, put them in the air fryer, set the temperature and time, and you'll have crispy, sweet roasted chestnuts in no time. I used to buy them often as a street snack, but these days, it's great to roast them at home using an air fryer or oven.
Making air fryer roasted chestnuts requires a bit of work to soak the chestnuts in salt water and score them, but once you roast them and take a bite, you'll want to make them again and again. Roasted sweet potatoes and roasted chestnuts are essential flavors this time of year, and there's no better snack. As they roast, the scored chestnut shells slightly open, making it easy to peel and enjoy their savory flavor. Steamed chestnuts are fluffy, while roasted chestnuts have a delicious crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside texture. I'll share a few tips on air fryer roasted chestnut time and temperature, so let's get started.
Ingredients:
Raw chestnuts: 600g
Water: 1L + Coarse salt: 1 tablespoon
*Measurements based on a standard tablespoon
Instructions:
1. Washing and Soaking Chestnuts
Before you start cooking, soaking the chestnuts in salt water makes it easier to peel them and helps you to pick out any that have been infested by bugs. First, wash the chestnuts under running water.
Pour about 1L of water into a large bowl, enough to cover the chestnuts, and dissolve 1 tablespoon of coarse salt in it.
Soak the washed chestnuts in the salt water for about 1 hour. Soaking them in salt water for more than an hour makes the shells moist and soft, and also enhances their sweetness and savory flavor. If the chestnuts are dry, increase the soaking time a bit. Discard any chestnuts that float to the top, as they may be infested.
2. Scoring Chestnuts
After soaking, score the chestnuts. They can be hard and easy to hurt yourself, so wear gloves and use a chestnut knife or bread knife to make the process easier. Make a straight or cross-shaped slit on the rounded bottom of each chestnut. Don't cut too deep, or they may burst or break apart while roasting. Only score the inner skin. This process can be a bit tedious, so you can also buy pre-scored chestnuts for roasting.
I scored each chestnut one by one.
3. Making Air Fryer Roasted Chestnuts
Place the scored chestnuts on the air fryer tray in a single layer, without overlapping.
The air fryer roasted chestnut time is about 20-25 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit). This may vary slightly depending on the size and shell thickness of the chestnuts.
I roasted them for about 20 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius, and the shells opened up nicely, and they were cooked perfectly with a crispy outside and a soft inside.
Check the status in the middle and adjust the time. The shells are cracked and the savory smell is delicious. Air fryer roasted chestnut making is complete.
4. Completion
These air fryer roasted chestnuts are crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, with a unique savory flavor and texture that makes you want to keep eating them. Roasting them at 180 degrees Celsius ensures that the shells peel off easily and the chestnuts are sweet.
Making these simple air fryer roasted chestnuts as a snack is a treat that everyone, young and old, will enjoy. Soaking, scoring, and roasting the chestnuts takes a little time, but they are seasonal chestnuts, so they are sweeter and more savory.
Enjoy warm and delicious roasted chestnuts in the cooling season.
End!
