Air Fryer Honey-Roasted Pistachios
Yield
1 cup (4 servings)
Ingredients
1 cup raw pistachios (unsalted, unroasted, and shelled)
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons granulated white sugar or monk fruit sweetener
Instructions
Prep Time: 10 minutes - Cook Time: 5 minutes - Total Time: 15 minutes
- In a mixing bowl, combine pistachios, honey, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract. Toss until the pistachios are evenly coated.
- Line the air fryer basket with air fryer-safe parchment paper. Spread the coated pistachios in a single layer on the parchment paper.
- Air fry at 325°F for 5-6 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Immediately transfer the hot pistachios to a parchment-lined sheet pan or plate. Use tongs to toss them with the granulated sugar or monk fruit, then press them into a single layer.
- Place in the refrigerator to cool for about 5 minutes. Once cooled, they’ll have a crystallized coating and can be broken into either large clusters or individual pieces.
- Store the honey-roasted pistachios in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
Notes:
If you don’t have parchment paper, lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil to prevent the pistachios from sticking.
These honey-roasted pistachios make a perfect homemade gift! Package them in small jars or festive bags for a delicious, thoughtful treat to share with friends and family.
