DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 450 F. With a small sharp knife, cut an X in the top of each chestnut to prevent it from exploding in the oven. (Once in a while, this fails to work.)
Spread the chestnuts on a baking sheet and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the shells are puffed and split. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
Crack the shells with your hands or use nutcrackers and picks to remove the nutmeats
