Are you ready to embrace the cozy flavors of fall with a seasonal treat? Look no further than pan-fried chestnuts, also known as caldarroste. These deliciously nutty bites are a popular street food in many European countries, and with our simple guide, you can easily whip up a batch in your own kitchen!

What You’ll Need

  • 1 pound of fresh chestnuts
  • Water
  • Salt

Step 1: Preparing the Chestnuts

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and using a sharp knife, make a small cut across the curved side of each chestnut. This will prevent them from exploding during cooking.

Step 2: Soaking the Chestnuts

Place the prepared chestnuts in a bowl of water and let them soak for about 10 minutes. The water will soften the shells and make them easier to peel after cooking.

Step 3: Roasting the Chestnuts in the Oven

Drain the chestnuts and transfer them to a baking sheet. Spread them out evenly in a single layer and sprinkle with a generous amount of salt. Roast the chestnuts in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the shells have split open and the nuts are tender.

Step 4: Pan-Frying the Chestnuts

While the roasted chestnuts are still hot, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chestnuts in the skillet, taking care not to overcrowd them. Toss them frequently for about 5-7 minutes, or until they become golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 5: Enjoying Your Caldarroste

Once your pan-fried chestnuts are ready, transfer them to a serving bowl and let them cool slightly. Serve them warm and enjoy the delightful aroma and flavor of these autumnal delights. They make a perfect snack for cozy evenings, festive gatherings, or even as a topping for salads and desserts!

So, why wait? Grab some fresh chestnuts and give this simple caldarroste recipe a try. With just a few steps, you’ll be savoring the warmth and deliciousness of pan-fried chestnuts in no time!
