Prep checklist
Pistachios — shelled
Butter — melted
Rosemary — minced
2 steps
Method
1
Roast the nuts at 170°C until fragrant and a shade darker, 10–12 minutes.
11 min — timer available in cooking mode
2
Toss HOT nuts with melted butter, rosemary, sugar, cayenne, and salt — heat blooms the rosemary and melts the sugar into a glaze.
Why this works
Serve warm if you can: warm nuts read as twice as fragrant. Re-warm 5 minutes before guests arrive.

Taste before serving and adjust salt and acid — the last 30 seconds of seasoning matter more than any single ingredient.
