Cooking Chestnuts in the Air Fryer is a breeze!
Simply place the scored chestnuts on the grill in the air fryer basket, set a temperature of 392°F for 18/20 minutes.
You don’t need to soak the chestnuts before cooking them.
Yes, you read that right, you can skip this step. Amazing!
During the 20 minutes of cooking in the air fryer, I open the basket to shake them a bit to turn them over and then continue cooking immediately.
Opening the basket halfway through cooking is also a way to see how far along the chestnuts are and decide whether to continue for the full 20 minutes or remove them a bit earlier.
Since I started preparing Smart Recipe for Chestnuts in the Air Fryer, I no longer waste time with long cooking times.
So:
short cooking times
no soaking required
easy to peel
