Right now you can find chestnuts in all supermarkets. So, all you have to do is go buy a bag of chestnuts and prepare your air fryer. Once you have your bag of chestnuts, you will need to follow these steps:

- Make a cross with the help of a sharp knife. It is important to make these two cuts well so that the heat can enter properly inside this fruit. This method also prevents the chestnuts from bursting during cooking.
- Now place the chestnuts in the basket of the air fryer (do not overlap them and do not overfill the basket) and program it for 10-12 minutes at maximum power, around 390 °F
- After these 10 minutes have elapsed, remove the chestnuts from the air fryer and you will have ready this healthy fall snack that is not only delicious but also offers great benefits for the body.
