Chile Lime Pistachios

If your pistachios are already salted, cut back on the amount of salt you use in this recipe or leave it out entirely and salt to taste after the nuts are roasted.

Ingredients:

1/2 fresh lime
1/2 T olive oil
1 t paprika (not hot)
1/2 t cayenne pepper
1 t salt
1 cup shelled pistachios

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 250°F.

Whisk together lime juice, oil, paprika, salt, and cayenne. Stir in pistachios to coat evenly.

Line a baking sheet with parchment. Spread the nuts over the parchment paper. Roast on the middle rack for about 30 minutes or until the spice mixture has dried on the nuts.

Your kitchen should smell pretty heavenly as these are roasting. The nuts will get more crispy as they cool, but good luck keeping fingers out of them.
