How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Candied Pistachios
Preheat the oven and prepare parchment paper on a baking sheet .
Next, in a mixing bowl , beat the egg white and vanilla until frothy. Then add pistachios, mix, and coat. Pour the pistachios on baking sheet.
Add the sugar, salt, and cinnamon to a small bowl and mix thoroughly. Add this cinnamon sugar mixture over the pistachios and be sure to stir to coat evenly. Arrange pistachios so they’re in a single, even layer for best results.
Lastly, bake, and stir every 20 minutes, until crunchy. Serve and enjoy when done!
Storing Leftovers
Store candied pistachios in an airtight container and keep them in a cool and dry place. If stored properly, your homemade candied pistachios will last up to a week at room temperature or 3 weeks if you store them in the refrigerator. If stored at room temperature, ensure you eat them within at least three days; this is because this recipe requires egg whites.
Can you eat raw pistachios?
Yes, you can eat raw pistachios! The best part about raw pistachios is that they are nutrient-rich and full of potential health benefits. See more below!
Can I use another type of nut?
You sure can! You can easily swap the pistachios for other candied nuts like almonds, walnuts, pecans and peanuts!
Are roasted pistachios healthy?
Pistachios are known for being high in fiber, protein, and antioxidants. They are also great at providing potassium and vitamin B6 (this is great for blood sugar regulation) too. When roasted, the fiber and protein do not change; however, it can cause a reduction in vitamin B6 because they are not heat stable. Overall, they are still generally healthy and make for a great snack!
