How to bake a chestnut in the oven, you need:
- 500 g of chestnuts,
- one teaspoon of salt,

How to bake a chestnut in the oven, prepare:
- Wash the chestnut well.
- Cut with a knife (or special tongs for chestnuts) in the shape of a cross.
- Place the chestnuts in a saucepan and pour water to cover the chestnuts by about 1 cm.
- Add one teaspoon of salt.
- When the water boils, let it boil for 3-5 minutes.
- Pour off the boiling water and run a stream of cold water over the chestnuts. Drain.
- Put baking paper in the oven tray, and two more layers of aluminum foil over it.
- Arrange the chestnuts in the tray, so that the cut part of the chestnut is facing up (in our case, according to the size and weight, half a kilogram was 33 chestnuts).
- Place the tray on the upper position in the oven heated to 220 degrees C and bake for 15-17 minutes on the fan position (up/down, both heaters on). The length of roasting depends on the strength of the heater in the oven, take care that the chestnut does not burn.
- When the chestnuts are roasted, remove the tray from the oven, grasp the ends of the aluminum foil and wrap the chestnuts. Allow the chestnuts to steam and cool for 10 minutes, this will allow them to be cleaned more easily.
Tip: most recipes for roasting chestnuts in the oven say to roast them in the oven using an infrared heater, but in this case the chestnuts are only roasted on one side. If you are using an infrared heater, you would have to turn the chestnut halfway through the roasting time, so that it roasts evenly.
Have fun and enjoy!
