Though the songs that play this time of year wax nostalgic about chestnuts roasting over open fires, the technique doesn't translate well to most home kitchens. Thankfully, chestnuts are easy to roast in the oven. My preferred method is to score and cook the raw nuts with a little water: The moisture makes it easy to slip off their stubborn inner skins when you're prepping them for holiday dishes such as
roasted onion and chestnut compote.
