Roasting chestnuts in an air fryer is a delightful way to enjoy this seasonal treat with minimal fuss. Begin by scoring the chestnuts, cutting a shallow 'X' on the flat side of each nut to prevent them from bursting during cooking. Preheat the air fryer to around 200°C.

Once heated, place the prepared chestnuts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even roasting. The chestnuts are ready when their shells have opened and the flesh inside is tender and fragrant.

Serve them warm, perhaps with a sprinkle of salt, and enjoy the nutty, slightly sweet flavour that has made chestnuts a beloved autumnal snack. Perfect for gatherings or a cosy evening in, air-fried chestnuts are an effortless way to bring a taste of the season to your home.
