Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine pistachios, honey, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract. Toss until the pistachios are evenly coated.
Line the air fryer basket with air fryer-safe parchment paper. Spread the coated pistachios in a single layer on the parchment paper.
Air fry at 325°F for 5-6 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Immediately transfer the hot pistachios to a parchment-lined sheet pan or plate. Use tongs to toss them with the sweetener of your choice, then press them into a single layer.
Place in the refrigerator to cool for about 5 minutes. Once cooled, they’ll have a crystallized coating and can be broken into either large clusters or individual pieces.
Store the honey roasted pistachios in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
