Weight Watchers Roasted Chestnuts (Air Fryer)
Ingredients
- 1 pound chestnuts
Instructions
- Turn on the air fryer and set it to 375° F
- Boil water in a large pot, then turn off the heat.
- Clean the chestnuts and dry them. Place them with the flat side down on a cutting board.
- Use a small knife to cut a big "X" on the round side of each chestnut. Make sure your cut goes through the outer skin and the layer underneath.
- Put the chestnuts in the hot water for 1 to 5 minutes. Bigger chestnuts need more time.
- Use a slotted spoon to take the chestnuts out of the water. Put them in the air fryer basket right away.
- Add 1 cup of hot water to the basket with the chestnuts.
- Cook the chestnuts in the air fryer for 10 minutes, then give the basket a good shake.
- Check if there's still water in the basket. If it's all gone, add another 1/2 cup of water.
- Keep cooking until the shells open up and the inside part turns brown, about 5 to 10 more minutes.
- Take the chestnuts out and let them cool until you can touch them.
- Peel off the shells and they're ready to eat!
