Air Fryer Chestnuts

Cultural Context

Chestnuts have been a staple in Swiss cuisine, particularly during the fall season, when they are harvested. Traditionally roasted over an open fire, air frying offers a modern, convenient way to enjoy this autumn treat. Chestnuts are often associated with winter festivities and are enjoyed as a warm snack or used in various dishes. Today, they are popular not only in Switzerland but also across Europe and beyond, with many variations in preparation.
