Ingredients
- 2 cups Pistachios
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and salt.
Step 3
Zest one lime using a microplane or fine grater to get approximately 1 teaspoon of lime zest, and add it to the bowl.
Step 4
Juice the lime to extract about 2 tablespoons of lime juice and set it aside.
Step 5
Add the pistachios to the bowl with the spice mixture and toss until all the pistachios are evenly coated.
Step 6
Spread the coated pistachios evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Step 8
Remove the pistachios from the oven and immediately drizzle them with the reserved lime juice, tossing to coat.
Step 9
Allow the pistachios to cool on the baking sheet; they will become crisp as they cool down.
Step 10
Once cooled, store the chili lime pistachios in an airtight container. They can be enjoyed as a snack or added to salads as a crunchy topping.
