US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (162 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • To a small mixing bowl, add the pistachios, maple syrup, coconut sugar, vanilla, and salt (optional). Stir well to combine, then transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Push the pistachios together on the baking sheet so they are all touching (but remain in one even layer). Bake for 10-14 minutes, until fragrant, lightly bubbling, and darkened in color.
  • Remove the pistachios from the oven and let cool completely before breaking up into clumps/individual nuts and roughly chopping, if desired.
  • Enjoy them on salads, ice cream, sorbet, and more! Leftovers keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 weeks or in the freezer for 1 month or longer.
