How to Create The Queen Pistachio

Proper Cutting

Ensuring uniform potato cubes for even roasting and perfect texture.

Two-Stage Roasting

Starting with plain seasoned potatoes before adding the honey glaze prevents burning while achieving golden perfection.

Balanced Flavoring

Creating harmony between sweet, savory, and aromatic elements for a royal dish.

Pistachio Integration

Adding pistachios at the right stage ensures they toast perfectly without burning.

Baking Tips

For extra flavor, toast the pistachios in a dry skillet before adding them to the potatoes.

You can substitute almonds for pistachios if preferred.

For a spicier variation, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to contrast with the sweetness.

Cut potatoes into uniformly sized pieces to ensure even cooking.

Use high-quality honey for the best flavor.

This dish can be prepared a day ahead and reheated in the oven before serving.

1/3 cup honey

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
