The ingredients in these nuts, as well as the nuts themselves, are customarily found in many Greek dishes. They are best paired with a big hunk of feta cheese, marinated olives and figs (either fresh or dried will do). They would be good sprinkled over a Greek salad. From Party Nuts!

How To Make greek pistachios and pine nuts

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the nuts and oil in a large bowl and toss until well coated. Add the oregano, fennel seeds, salt and pepper and toss again to coat evenly.
Step 3

Transfer the nuts to the prepared sheet and arrange in a single layer. Place in the oven and cook until they begin to color, about 10 minutes.
Step 4

Remove from oven, immediately loosen the nuts with a metal spatula, sprinkle evenly with the lemon zest, and set aside to cool before serving.
