Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pistachios or Pecans
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Mace
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Optional: Cayenne Pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, brown sugar, cinnamon, mace, sea salt, vanilla extract, and optional cayenne pepper if you prefer a slight kick.
Add the pistachios or pecans to the bowl and mix thoroughly, ensuring all the nuts are evenly coated with the spiced mixture.
Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the nuts in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the nuts cool completely. The coating will become crisp as they cool.
Transfer the roasted nuts to an airtight container or serving bowl and enjoy. They can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 week.
