Cooking Instructions
- 1
Pre-heat the oven to 200°
- 2
Put either a slit or a cross in the top of each chestnut, the cuts need to go from one side of the chestnut to the other so that the chestnuts can open up during cooking and don’t explode.
- 3
Place in a roasting tin, cut side facing upwards. Roast until the chestnuts are tender and the skins have opened up, approximately 30 minutes. Shake the tin at regular intervals to stop the chestnuts from catching.
- 4
Allow the chestnuts to cool sufficiently for you to be able to pick them up. Peel off the outer layer, season with sea salt if desired and enjoy!

How to Bake Spring Rolls (Nem) in the Oven in 10 Minutes How to Bake Spring Rolls (Nem) in the Oven in 10 Minutes
Making spring rolls (nem) is very common, and I’ve already shared how to fry them using an air fryer, so I won’t repeat that here. The advantage of baking spring rolls is that they use very little oil, but the downside is they aren’t as crispy.Ruby
