Ingredients:

500g fresh chestnuts

2 tbsp honey

1 tsp ground cinnamon

A pinch of sea salt

1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

Prepare the Chestnuts: Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Score an ‘X’ on the flat side of each chestnut using a sharp knife—this allows steam to escape during roasting.

Season: Place the chestnuts in a bowl, and add the olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until the chestnuts are well coated.

Roast: Spread the chestnuts in a single layer on a baking tray and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the shells begin to peel away and the chestnuts are golden.

Prepare the Glaze: While the chestnuts are roasting, warm the honey and cinnamon in a small saucepan over low heat until they are well combined.

Glaze the Chestnuts: Once the chestnuts are done roasting, remove them from the oven, let them cool slightly, and then drizzle the warm honey and cinnamon mixture over the chestnuts. Toss to coat evenly.

Serve: Serve warm as a delicious snack for your Halloween celebrations!

These roasted chestnuts make a perfect treat for Halloween or All Saints Day, connecting the flavours of tradition with a sweet, seasonal twist. Enjoy!
