Spiced Butter Chestnuts

This was my first time trying roasted chestnuts, and I was happily surprised at how delicious they are. The texture is amazing as well!

This is also super nutritious because it’s high in fiber, vitamins that support skin and collagen production, antioxidants, rich in healthy fats, and are sugar free!

Definitely give this a try for a classic Christmas treat that has the best warming spice mix .

Tis the season for chestnuts roasting on an open fire, except I roasted these easily in the oven! They are incredibly delicious and pair perfectly with this warm spiced butter mix.
