Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsalted pistachios (shelled)
- 1 large Fresh lime
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, and garlic powder. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of spices.
Step 3
Zest the lime over the spice mixture, being careful to only remove the green zest, not the bitter white pith. Then, cut the lime in half and juice it over the spices, removing any seeds that may fall in.
Step 4
Add the olive oil to the bowl and whisk all the ingredients together until you have a smooth, cohesive paste.
Step 5
Add the unsalted pistachios to the bowl and stir thoroughly to ensure each nut is coated with the spice paste.
Step 6
Spread the coated pistachios evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer for even roasting.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the pistachios to cool completely. The nuts will continue to crisp up as they cool down.
Step 9
Once cooled, store the pistachios in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
