Steps for Chestnuts in Air Fryer
To prepare chestnuts in the air fryer, start by cutting an incision in the shell of each chestnut without damaging the fruit. This will prevent them from exploding inside the fryer.
Once all chestnuts are cut, take a bowl filled with fresh water and a teaspoon of coarse salt, and let them soak for at least 1 hour. This will make them easier to peel.
After this time, place the chestnuts covering the surface of the basket, without overlapping them.
Set the air fryer to 356°F (180°C) for 15 minutes of cooking.
Once the cooking time has passed, remove the chestnuts and start peeling them, being careful not to burn yourself.
Now you can cook the others with the same procedure.
It is advisable to eat them warm

Purchase medium-sized chestnuts; the cooking time depends not only on your fryer’s brand but also on the chestnuts’ size.
