- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Add the unshelled raw pistachios to the bowl and toss until all pistachios are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the coated pistachios in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Spray the top of the pistachios lightly with non-stick cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
