Chestnuts are the most non-nut nuts there are! They are high in fiber, low in fat, low on the GI scale - and used to be the main source of carbohydrates around the world before potatoes and wheat. Justin and I had our very first one this winter, and they have since become a staple in our home. Plus, there is nothing prettier than having a bowl of chestnuts around.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Make an "x" across the flat belly of the chestnut (making sure to pierce both the outside shell and the furry layer underneath).
- Place the nuts "x" side up in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
- Peel and eat while still hot!
Tip: You can tell if the nut is bad if there is air between the skin and the flesh.
Love, J
