2 to 3 sheets of store-bought phyllo pastry dough, thawed
1 tablespoon olive oil, to brush the pastry
4 ounces shelled pistachios
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon agave
4 ounces light brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 lemon, zested

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
