I have never roasted chestnuts before. I have eaten them! Delicious! Thank you for the post and instructions on how to roast them! 😀
It’s easy and yummy! Thank you for your lovely comment! 🙂
thanks for the reminder! didn’t’t get round to roasting any this Christmas, but will get some next market day. I roast mine on a shovel in the stove or in a pan on the range. Love the smell and the taste and the excitement burning finger tips as you peel them straight from the fire!
I love them too! They are my favourite little treats in the winter time. I also like to peel and put the leftovers in rice. It tastes so delicious you should try it 🙂

Thank you so much. So happy you like my page 🙂
This is a great post. It would be fun to try to roast my own chestnuts. I have only ever had them when we bought them from a street vendor in NYC umpteen years ago. Can’t wait to give them a try on my own. Thanks!
Thank you! Well they have a different feel when you buy them out on the street in the cold but they are still so delicious to roast at home (and super easy!).
Thanks for all the information regarding chestnuts. Our Dickens Victorian Village tries to have chestnuts roasting on the street just for the sweel smell of them. They have been a winter treat for probably hundreds of years.

I love chestnuts! Both roasted, puréed, blanched & candied. The list goes on. Cutting them with those little knives is a skill. A delicious one at that 🙂
Thank you!!
Do you pour honey on them or anything to make them taste sweet!?
Noi just roast them as they are! This batch was particularly sweet for some reason anyways
Wonderful recipe. I remember buying roasted chestnuts on the street corners of London and New York City. Thank you, also,for reading my eulogy for our Persian cat.
Thank you very much for your kind comment!
Oooh I will have to try the soaking! Thanks
Thank you so much for your comment!
When we travel overseas make it a point to enjoy roasted chestnuts 🙂 Unfortunately we don’t get them in India 😦
Thank you so much for stopping by!
Thank you. I knew in the song they could roast chestnuts by the fire, but I wondered how to do them in my kitchen. I’m glad it so simple.
Thank you! I’ve always wondered how you roasted chestnuts. It looks easy – I’ll try it!
Reblogged this on Save That Recipe and commented:
Roasted chestnuts are synonymous with a Charles Dickens Christmas. ‘Mommy Cook For Me’ shows us how easy it is to roast them!
I can’t wait to try this! What is the contraption in the last photo?
I love Chestnuts. They were on our Thanksgiving and Christmas table every single year when I was growing up. Hey, my mom was Italian. Still love them to this day. Believe it or not I happen to love them boiled but, I think I am the only person in the world that does. :o) Thanks for a great memory.
I would also like to thank you for the follow and hope you visit often. :o)
Thank you very much for lovely comment, Have a nice week! 🙂
