One of the things I'm constantly in awe of is how big the snack market is (we're talking a multi-billion dollar industry). Pretty much anything you could want, there is- even in the natural food space. However, I still like making most of our snacks at home. I can control exactly what goes into them and once you start, it's really easy to feel inspired.

These pistachios are a family family. These roasted pistachios first came about when I developed a curry version for The Kitchn. We couldn't stop eating them and from there, I've tried numerous spice blends and seasonings. This recipe is the perfect base that you can mix and match seasoning with different nuts (shelled or not). This version is Frontier Co-ops Berbere seasoning is the perfect balance of spicy and sweet.
