Roasted Pistachios with Fresh Thyme and Paprika

There’s no easier snack to make than roasted nuts. I love the different variations you can do…salty, sweet, spicy, the options are endless. I’ve already made a few different roasted nuts recipes (check out my old posts, here and here) and decided to try pistachios with a mix of paprika. Straight from the herb garden on my balcony I tossed in fresh thyme and then some sugar for a salty and sweet combination.

Feel free to mix in some other nuts with the pistachios like almonds or walnuts. If you don’t have fresh thyme, you can easily use rosemary or oregano. And omit the salt if you use salted pistachios.

Combine all ingredients together and mix well.

Spread pistachios out evenly on a pan and roast for about 20 minutes.
