Since Super Bowl Sunday is coming up, I thought I’d put this recipe up to share with you since it would be a perfect one to serve your friends while watching the game and drinking a nice cold beverage. I love pistachios, even more so with the shell still on. I don’t mind the work. These pistachios have such a nice kick to them from the chipotle, but with a hint of of cinnamon lingering in the background. It’s really a great flavor combination. They are a little different from your traditional bowl of mixed nuts and are great to have around when you’re feeling snacky.
Try ‘em, you’ll like ‘em.
Spicy Pistachios
Recipe from Southern Living
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

In large mixing bowl, stir together first 5 ingredients, add pistachios, tossing to coat. Arrange pistachios in a single layer on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes. Let cool. Store in an airtight container.

You have the best super bowl recipes. I’m coming over for the game
And how awesome is Southern Living and all of their fabulous recipes? Both Mandi & I subscribe. I love a good kick to any of my dishes and these sound super tasty
Pistachios are usually the one nut I leave out of mixes or shy away from when making spicy/sweet batches of a single nut because all that shelling … makes my fingers hurt just thinking about it. Obviously you can buy shelled pistachios, but I don’t like those as much for some reason. Never would’ve thought to mix them up with the shell still on. It’s genius! Plus, I think shelling the pistachios as you go along is half of the fun of snacking. Helps me keep track of how many I’ve eaten!
Cheers and thanks for sharing,
