Prepare each chestnut by carefully cutting an "X" on the smooth, flat side.
Place the chestnuts into a chestnut pan, skillet, OR baking sheet.
Roast over an open fire for 10 minutes until the "X" peels back and curls.
Roast in an oven at 400-degrees (shaking the pan once during baking) until the "X" peel back and curls (approximately 10-12 minutes).
Roast in a skillet on the stovetop over medium/high heat, shaking the pan frequently during cooking until the "X" peels back and curls (approximately 15-20 minutes)
Roast the chestnuts in an air fryer for 10 minutes at 350-degrees for 7-10 minutes, stirring once, or until the "X" peels back and curls.
Cool, peel, and enjoy.
Store properly in the refrigerator in a brown paper bag for up to 4 days.
