These roasted pistachios are awesome!

These chilli roasted pistachios just plain gets it! Great for picnics or appetizers you can’t go wrong with this easy dish so I really hope you give it a try. Once made, they keep for months in an air-tight container in a cool and dark place. I usually quadruple this recipe for that reason.

The spicy and savoury ingredients would work with almost any type of nut but I really love the colour of the shells with the red chili. The tangy lime really wakes up the sweetness of the pistachios.

I purchase unsalted pistachios. If you can only find salted pistachios, leave the salt out of the recipe and add it at the end.

2 cups pistachios
1/2 fresh lime

Whisk together lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, salt and garlic powder. Stir in pistachios to coat evenly.
Spread the nuts over a baking tray.
Roast on the middle rack for about 30 minutes or until the spice mixture has dried on the nuts and nut shells.

These sound easy enough and tasty, too. I remember that my uncle Don, your grandpa, loved pistachios!

These look fantastic. Will be trying very soon, and maybe also with cashew nuts…

Hello, we’re a couple of students. We live for pistachios and this looks like an amazing recipe to make pistachios even more fantastic and give them a bit of extra vavavoom. Would love to meet up with Laurie, Dan and Vanesther to have a pistachio tasting session. I’ll bring my home grown pistachios.
Our lives are pistachio
All our love,
Leon and Sarah xx

  Hi Steve
  
  Thanks for getting in touch. I use 250ml cup measures but that isn’t really important. Similar sized cups are fine.
  
  Thanks,
  Dan
