Bonus? This version is naturally sweetened and requires just 4 ingredients and 20 minutes. Let us show you how it’s done! These SIMPLE candied pistachios begin with tossing raw pistachios with maple syrup, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract. Maple syrup and coconut sugar combine to create the perfect amount of sauciness and natural sweetness, while vanilla gives the flavor a little nuance. An optional pinch of sea salt gives these candied pistachios a subtly salty touch that brings things up a notch! Next, we spread them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet (for easy cleanup) and ensure the pistachios are touching to create a crunchy “brittle” effect. After a quick trip into the oven, they’re fragrant (mmm, caramel!), lightly bubbling, and a little darker. The hardest part is saved for last: letting them cool completely so they harden and become ready to break up into pieces! We hope you LOVE these candied pistachios!

We made these candied pistachios to go along with our Easy Apricot Sorbet (No-Churn!), but they’re also a delicious topping for ice cream and salads.
