Step-by-Step Instructions for Grilled Roasted Chestnuts
  1. Prepare the grill by preheating for direct heat at 375°F to 400°F and ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled.
  2. Score the chestnuts with an X shape across the flat side of each nut to allow steam to escape during grilling.
  3. Arrange the scored chestnuts in a single layer on a pre-warmed cast iron skillet.
  4. Place the skillet on the grill, close the lid, and grill for 10 to 15 minutes, turning halfway for even cooking.
  5. Once done, remove the skillet, cool the chestnuts for a few minutes, then peel away the outer shell and inner skin.
  6. Serve the grilled roasted chestnuts warm as a snack or use them to enhance various dishes.
