Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw shelled pistachios
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh lime juice, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and olive oil. Whisk together until well combined and smooth.
Add the raw shelled pistachios to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the coated pistachios in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the pistachios for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Once roasted to perfection and fragrant, remove the pistachios from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Sprinkle the lime zest over the warm pistachios and toss them gently to infuse additional lime flavor.
Allow them to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. These can be stored at room temperature for up to a week.
