Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, combine fresh lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, ground cumin, sea salt, olive oil, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
Add the unsalted raw pistachios to the bowl and toss them in the seasoning mixture, ensuring that they are evenly coated.
Spread the pistachios out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even roasting.
Remove the pistachios from the oven once they are lightly browned and fragrant. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Once cooled, serve the pistachios as a hearty and healthy snack or store them in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
