Autumn brings golden colors, cooler days and the intoxicating smell of roasted chestnuts, which accompanies us on walks through the city streets or gatherings around an open fire.

The good news is that you can also prepare chestnuts in the oven, which will taste very similar to those roasted on coals. Chestnuts in the oven are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with that characteristic smoky aftertaste that reminds us of the fire and autumn evenings.
