Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsalted raw pistachios
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the pistachios from sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, lime zest, lime juice, sea salt, garlic powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and forms a loose paste.
Add the raw pistachios to the bowl and toss them in the chili-lime mixture until they are evenly coated.
Spread the coated pistachios in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. Look for a golden-brown color and a fragrant aroma as signs that the pistachios are ready.
Remove the pistachios from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. This will help them crisp up further as they cool.
Transfer the cooled pistachios to a serving bowl or an airtight container for storage.
Enjoy these Chili Lime Pistachios as a flavorful snack on their own, or pair them with a cheese platter for a Mediterranean-inspired appetizer.
