Ingredients
- 2 cups Shelled pistachios
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3
Add the shelled pistachios to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 4
Spread the pistachios in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the pistachios are fragrant and lightly toasted.

Once cooled, serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to two weeks to maintain freshness.
