Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Shelled pistachios
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
Add the shelled pistachios to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the pistachios in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the pistachios are fragrant and lightly toasted.
Remove the pistachios from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crunchier as they cool.
Once cooled, serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to two weeks to maintain freshness.
