Ingredients

• Chestnuts - 250 grams
• Coconut oil - 1 tablespoon
• Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• Maple syrup - 1 tablespoon
• Sea salt - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Using a sharp knife, make an 'X' shape cut on the flat side of each chestnut to prevent them from bursting while roasting.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the chestnuts with melted coconut oil, cinnamon, maple syrup, and sea salt. Toss until the chestnuts are well coated.
4. Spread the chestnuts evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even cooking.
6. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Peel the outer shell and enjoy warm.
