    Air fryer chestnuts | roasted chestnuts

    Air fryer chestnuts is my favorite snack. I love getting it from chestnut roaster from the market sometimes. However, getting a bag and roasting chestnuts in air fryer is more convenient. Easy and hassle-free. Just have a glass of hot tea or coffee later and your breaktime is perfect. Water chestnuts are quite popular in India but there is lot of fun in chestnut picking abroad too. If you have not tried it yet, you must. I had a great time when we went picking.

    Chestnuts signal that spring is gone, now its time to have that autumnal breeze. Maple leaves red, green and yellow, slowly change to wooden brown. It is time for a chill in air. That is the time for chestnuts in every market fair.

    My little chipmunk was born in Autumn. He definitely loves his roasting chestnuts in an air fryer. He loves this so much that I actually have to get packets of Galil organic roasted chestnuts from Costco in the off-season. Costco roasted chestnuts are great during travel & picnics too. It is actually better than giving him candy so I don't mind all those visits.
