Copycat Wonderful® Chili Roasted Pistachios

5 from 1 vote

3 cups shelled pistachios I get these bags at Costco for a great price - shop around and see what you can get!
3 tbsp coconut oil melted
1 tbsp coconut sugar
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp smoked paprika (see Notes below to adjust heat level)
2 tsp chipotle chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp sea salt

Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees.
Stir the ingredients together in a small mixing bowl and spread out evenly on an unlined baking sheet.
Bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes. The pistachios will crisp up more as they cool. Use an airtight container to store your chili pistachios in the pantry.

The heat level on these pistachios is really all in the chipotle chili powder. If you want to make these for the kids, and they don’t love heat, just leave that out and there will be a mild smoky sweetness that the kids will enjoy. I do have one kiddo that enjoys a really spicy heat and she loves it made the original way. Just make 2 batches or 2 halved batches if you want to have some mild ones for the kids and spicy ones for you.
The Wonderful Spicy Pistachios brand I believe has even more spice than this recipe. If you want that level of heat, add a pinch or so of cayenne!
