How to Honey Roast Chestnuts
Roasted chestnuts conjure images of winter holidays, warm fires and, in some places, street vendors. Roasting is one of the most popular -- and least intensive -- ways to prepare these large, thick-shelled nuts. Red pepper, cinnamon and paprika are common ingredients used in preparing spiced chestnuts. However, one of the more sweet and popular alternatives is honey-roasted chestnuts.
